Industrial decarbonisation + trade leader @Baringa. Previously @theCCCuk + Parliament @POST_UK.

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

I’m recently back from almost six months of parental leave, so really keen to catch-up on all things #industrialdecarbonisation and beyond that I’ve missed! If you fancy a catch-up, please ping me a message. (And here’s a little photo from my top @Baringa keeping in touch day!)

4) Support the competitiveness of UK exports by helping to align UK policies with international low-carbon product standards.

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

New report out today from @EnergySysCat and @Baringa looking at how to improve carbon accounting regulation for industrial products, to enable successful #industrialdecarbonisation policy. (1/4)

2) Promote the need for data sharing platforms that enable emissions to be tracked across global supply chains in a consistent way
3) Facilitate consistent and credible emissions reporting by standardising how the relevant organisations are accredited

@FrankAaskov I was thinking this, i.e. it's not only a 2026 issue, but also before, so presumably implementation asap would reduce rerouting as much as possible. Flip side for govt I suppose is the time needed to get the policy designed in the right way.

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

UK gov commits to implementing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism #CBAM by 2027. Some difference from the EU version with ceramics and glass in and electricity out. #industrialdecarbonisation https://t.co/Wm6ouXp4Gq

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

@FrankAaskov I'm assuming that free allowances will still be there in 2026, if no UK CBAM by then.

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

@FrankAaskov Must say i've not read the govt response much yet (but i have now looked at your response!). Makes sense that's a concern. Do you have a sense of scale? And is 2026 much different to 2025, if EU is only covering 2.5% of emissions with CBAM in 2026 +reporting req are firm by 2025?

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

Government confirmed new cap for UK Emissions Trading Scheme today. In rush of Brexit, the cap had been left v loose 2021-23 (first 3 years of green solid line). This brings it into a tighter range (although least ambitious of those consulted on). https://t.co/7vZ2MTfxIY #ETS

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

UK #industrial #decarbonisation progress not on track, finds today's @theCCCuk annual report. New analysis finds that private sector targets are falling far short of what is needed, reflecting the need for Gov't to incentivise stronger ambitions. (Enjoying reading from outside!)

[Climate Change Committee @theCCCuk]

We’ve published our latest assessment of progress in reducing UK emissions. The Committee has again flagged the risks of a policy programme that amongst other things is too slow to plant trees and roll-out heat pumps. https://t.co/y60IIowgA1

[Mineral Products Association @MineralProduct]

ZEST FOR ZERO: UK #Lime producers have launched a roadmap to decarbonise and deliver ‘net negative’ carbon emissions by 2040 using #fuelswitching and #carboncapture plus lime’s carbon-absorbing properties.

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

UK Carbon border adjustment and product standards consultation out today too. Glad it's out - there's lots of detail to chew over, but important policies for #industrialdecarbonisation! Find it here: https://t.co/zBKzjZEbse #CBAM

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

'Upcoming milestones' on UK #industrialdecarbonisation are set out in a useful summary in the UK Govt 'Net Zero Growth Plan': https://t.co/ezR1v1tVtg

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

@agailani90 @theGCCA @MineralProduct Yep! That was the case in the previous shortlisting too

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

Here are the UK #CCS projects going through to final negotiations with UK Govt, announced today. The Buxton lime plant is particularly interesting as it could start a CO2 pipe route to some of the most geographically difficult to reach CCS-needing sites! @theGCCA @MineralProduct

[Secretary Jennifer Granholm @SecGranholm]

HUGE: Thanks to @POTUS, @ENERGY just announced the BIGGEST investment in industrial decarbonization in American history—$6 BILLION to minimize the environmental impacts of traditional energy, as we continue to build out clean energy tech + transmission 🇺🇸 https://t.co/OXke3yb4iM

[Aaron Goater @aarongoater]

@PNCohen @JennyC_Hill @mikehemsley @j_r_barrett Only just spotted this response - the work I'm referring to was done by the energy efficiency teams and I wasn't aware of any link to Hy4Heat, so I think (but cannot be 100% sure) it's different.
