Humber Industrial Decarbonisation Roadmap

Humber LEP和成员组织Catch将制定Humber工业脱碳路线图(HIDR)，为Humber产业集群的碳排放到2040年实现净零，到2030年大幅减少奠定基础。Humber集群集中在Humber河口周围。它包括英国主要的钢铁生产中心；两个炼油厂；两个主要的化学品集群；以及生物燃料、水泥、石灰和玻璃制造商。它是能源河口的一部分，能源河口包括世界上最大的在建海上风电场；几个现有的和计划中的燃气发电站；以及英国最大的生物质发电站-提供蓝色和绿色氢气生产和BECCS的潜力。英国最大的港口综合体和英国最大的企业园区为该地区的进一步工业发展奠定了基础。亨伯受益于英国地质上最了解的北海潜在二氧化碳储存地点；英国最深的盐矿，非常适合氢气储存，已经用于陆上天然气储存；以及亨伯河口周围巨大的自然封存潜力。亨伯排放的二氧化碳比其他任何工业集群都多(比第二大的工业集群多30%)，而该地区通过洪水风险非常容易受到气候变化的影响。亨伯四分之一的GVA和十分之一的工作岗位依赖于这些行业，因此维护它们的竞争力是当务之急。因此，清洁增长，包括到2040年实现净零，是即将公布的亨伯当地产业战略的核心。发展HIDR被确定为关键的早期行动。HIDR将使大型工业排放者、低碳基础设施提供商和其他利益相关者能够制定一种共享的方法，以在2040年实现净零。这将把英国最大的工业脱碳机会分解为可管理的部分，与更广泛的当地清洁增长计划保持一致，并就所需行动达成共识。这种协调的方法将减少开发和连接低碳基础设施的障碍，使Humber能够有效地与政府就业务和监管模式进行接触，并最大限度地从过渡中获得当地企业和社区的好处。

Humber LEP and membership organisation CATCH will develop the Humber Industrial Decarbonisation Roadmap (HIDR), establishing the pathway for the Humber industrial cluster's carbon emissions to be net zero by 2040 and significantly reduced by 2030.The Humber cluster is concentrated around the Humber Estuary. It includes the UK's main steel production centre; two oil refineries; two major chemicals clusters; and biofuel, cement, lime and glass manufacturers. It is part of the Energy Estuary, which includes the largest offshore windfarm underconstruction in the world; several existing and planned gas-fired power stations; and the UK's largest biomass power station - offering the potential for blue and green hydrogen production and BECCS. The UK's largest ports complex and the UK's largest Enterprise Zone underpin the area's potential for further industrial growth.The Humber benefits from the UK's most geologically understood site for potential CO2 storage under the North Sea; the deepest UK salt deposits, ideal for hydrogen storage, already utilised for onshore gas storage; and significant natural sequestration potential around the Humber Estuary.The Humber emits more CO2 than any other industrial cluster (30% more than the next largest), whilst the area is highly vulnerable to climate change through flood risk. A quarter of Humber GVA and 1 in 10 jobs depend on theseindustries, making safeguarding their competitiveness imperative.Clean growth, including achieving net zero by 2040, is therefore at the centre of the Humber's Local Industrial Strategy which is due for publication shortly.Developing HIDR is identified as a critical early action.HIDR will enable large industrial emitters, low carbon infrastructure providers and other stakeholders to develop a shared approach to achieving net zero by 2040. This will break down the UK's biggest industrial decarbonisationopportunity into manageable parts, align it with wider local clean growth plans and build consensus around the actions required. This coordinated approach will reduce the barriers to developing and connecting to low carbon infrastructure, enable the Humber to engage effectively together withGovernment on business and regulatory models, and maximise local business and community benefits from the transition.
