Barriers and enablers to decarbonising UK manufacturing: views of technical experts and trade organisations
As part of TransFIRe, two groups of partners were interviewed: 12 TransFIRe technical academic leads and 7 representatives from trade organisations for representing chemicals (plastics), metals (steel and cast metals), glass, cement, paper and ceramics. The interviewees were given 3-5 prompts of innovations in their industry gathered from the academic and trade literature and encouraged to suggest other innovations. They were then asked to outline the barriers and enablers for each innovation. This document presents the key messages from these interviews.
