Answered by Chris Skidmore
The move to cleaner economic growth is one of the greatest industrial opportunities of our time, and our Clean Growth Grand Challenge sets out how we will maximise advantages for UK industry.
We have allocated £102.5 million to the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund’s ‘Prospering from the Energy Revolution’ challenge and invested in the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult.
