The government is providing significant funding to catalyse progress on industrial decarbonisation, including £9.4 billion in capital funding for carbon capture, usage and storage and £500 million to support hydrogen infrastructure.

We are also continuing to develop policies to bring down electricity costs relative to gas for the non-domestic sector, including industry, and intend to consult on options. Further details will be set out in our new forthcoming plan for industrial decarbonisation in due course.
