UK Emissions Trading Scheme: Ceramics
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 13 March 2025 to Question 36729, if he will give an example of a cost effective solution to decarbonise for the ceramics sector.
Answered by Sarah Jones
Making Britain a clean energy superpower is one of the five missions of this Government — delivering clean power by 2030 and accelerating to net zero. British industries, such as those in the ceramics sector, have been held back by high electricity costs, which has often made investing here uncompetitive. The Government’s clean energy mission will drive down costs, making British businesses internationally competitive while our National Wealth Fund supports the most energy intensive sectors to decarbonise.
A recent report from Ceramics UK, Decarbonising UK Ceramic Manufacturing, outlines potential solutions for decarbonising the ceramics sector.
