Building a UK value chain in converting waste gases into sustainable materials for consumer products

该项目是关于开发一种新的商业模式和能力，以利用基础工业的工业废气，产生用于英国消费品生产的原料和化学品。这种工业共生模式将取代目前用于供应消费品行业的英国以外的非可持续材料的进口，从而建立一个新的英国价值链，同时有助于减少基础工业（特别是造纸，化工和钢铁）的废物排放。除了项目的技术方面外，商业模式开发还将制定使模式发挥作用所需的经济激励措施（例如，对进口矿物材料征收碳税）。该项目将独特地将整个供应/价值链的合作伙伴聚集在一起，以实现这一目标。

This project is about the development of a new business model and capability to enable the utilisation of industrial waste gases from the foundation industries, to generate feedstocks and chemicals for use in the production of consumer products in the UK. Such an industrial symbiosis model will displace the import of non-sustainable materials from outside of the UK currently used to supply the consumer goods industry thus building a new UK value chain whilst simultaneously helping to mitigate the waste emissions from the foundation industries (specifically paper, chemicals, and steel). Aside from the technical aspects of the project, additionally, the business model development will frame the economic incentives that will likely be required to make the model work (e.g., carbon taxes on imports of fossil-based materials). The project will uniquely bring together partners from across the whole supply/value chain to achieve this.
