Roadmap - South Wales Industrial Cluster (SWIC) Phase 1

南威尔士产业集群（SWIC）是南威尔士不同的工业公司和基地的集群，他们聚集在一起，共同应对脱碳和清洁增长的共同挑战。SWIC由一系列不同的行业组成，既有共同的挑战，也有独特的挑战。代表的行业包括钢铁、炼油、造纸、镍精炼、绝缘材料、化工、液化天然气进口、皇家造币厂和一般制造业。SWIC项目将为第一阶段制定路线图，以实现其“发展世界领先的真正可持续的产业，适应2030年、2040年、2050年及以后的社会需求”的愿景。这将融入循环经济，从而形成一个更智能、更环保、更健康的社会。目前SWIC的碳排放水平为9MTCO2/年，直接来自工业，另外还有10MTCO2/年来自发电。SWICs的目标是与电力部门合作，在未来20年内逐步实现减排，最终到2040年实现净零碳（NZC）。第一阶段的工作将为SWIC成员建立NZC选项；包括英国最大的两个二氧化碳排放工厂，几个大型工厂和几个中型工厂。这将允许几个小型的本地集群形成，然后相互成长和结合，最终合并到沿海大型二氧化碳排放国，此时存在大规模的CCU/CCS选择，从剩余的区域碳中创造价值。这一初步战略以NZC的分步方法为中心，在项目过程中推进每一步，以告知/完善总体愿景，同时推动人类-地球-利润相结合的步骤，为下一步的部分或全部实施提供触发点。NZC的发展不仅支持NZC的目标，还将满足该地区的社会需求和目标，并支持南威尔士工业面临的共同和独特的商业和运营挑战和目标。该路线图还将为南威尔士作为一个地区最终与英国其他地区的脱碳行动协同工作和发展提供一条路线。NZC作为一个目标，必须在“人、地球和利润”的更广泛背景下实现，在全球竞争激烈的市场中实现真正可持续的清洁增长，保持该地区清洁、充满活力和多样化的工业部门。SWIC是采用整体整合战略成立的。CR Plus代表SWIC领导该项目，第一阶段是一个整合努力、确定方向和进一步扩大行动计划的机会，以实现SWIC的愿景。

The South Wales Industrial Cluster (SWIC) is a cluster of diverse industrial companies and sites across South Wales who have come together to collaboratively tackle common challenges of decarbonisation and clean growth. SWIC comprises of a diverse set of industries with both common and unique challenges. Sectors represented include steel, oil refining, paper, nickel refining, insulation materials, chemicals, LNG importing, Royal Mint and general manufacturing.The SWIC project will develop a roadmap for Phase 1 to deliver its vision of "developing a world leading truly sustainable industry befitting thesocietal needs of 2030, 2040, 2050 and beyond". This will incorporate a circular economy thus lead to a smarter, greener and healthier society.Current SWIC carbon emission levels are at 9MTCO2/y direct from industry, plus another 10MTCO2/y from power generation. SWICs target isto work with the power sector and achieve stepped reductions over the next two decades ultimately achieving Net Zero Carbon (NZC) by 2040.The Phase-1 work will establish NZC options for SWIC members; including two of the largest industrial UK CO2 emitters, several large sites andseveral medium sized sites. This will allow the several mini-local clusters to form, before growing and combining with each other, ultimately merging to connect to the large coastal CO2 emitters, at which point large scale CCU/CCS options exist creating value from residual regional carbon.This embryonic strategy centres around a stepped approach to NZC that progresses each step along a project journey to inform/refine the overallvision, whilst driving forward those steps where People-Planet-Profit combine to provide the trigger point to implement part or the whole of thenext step. NZC progression supports not just the NZC target but will meet the societal needs and targets of the region and support the common andunique commercial and operational challenges and targets facing South Wales industry. The roadmap will also deliver a route for South Wales as aregion to ultimately work and evolve in synergy with decarbonisation action in other regions in the UK.NZC as a target must be realised in the much broader context of 'People, Planet and Profit', achieving truly sustainable clean growth, within aglobally competitive market, maintaining a growing, clean vibrant and diverse Industrial sector in the region. SWIC was formed using a holisticand integrated strategy.CR Plus are leading the project on behalf of SWIC, with Phase-1 representing an opportunity to coalesce efforts, cement a direction and tofurther scope the action plan required to achieve the SWIC vision.
