Industrial Net Zero Policy
Catherine Barber
Deputy Director, Industrial Energy Transformation Fund
5. • To reach the Net Zero target in 2050
industrial emissions need to fall by
around 90% from today’s levels.
• The Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy,
March 2021, sets out how the UK can
have a thriving industrial sector aligned
with the net zero target, without pushing
emissions and business abroad.
Net zero industry
• Industrial emissions account for around 16% of UK emissions.
Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy Pathway
6. Government action on Industrial Decarbonisation
Investment: Government offers support from research,
development and innovation to demonstration and
deployment of clean technology.
1
Industrial Clusters Mission: The UK has a mission to
support the delivery of four low carbon clusters by 2030 and
at least one full net zero cluster by 2040.
2
Strategy: We recently published our Industrial
Decarbonisation Strategy and Hydrogen Strategy with
associated consultations.
4
3
Market Building: BEIS is committed to carbon pricing.
We have launched the UK Emissions Trading Scheme
and this is being further developed.
7. Industrial Energy Transformation Fund
Reduce energy costs and emissions for industry
Bring down costs and risks of deep decarbonisation technologies by
demonstrating those technologies
Two objectives:
• The IETF is targeted at industrial processes
• The fund is open to businesses - of any size - registered in England, Wales or NI.
8. IETF - Who's Who?
• BEIS is delivering the Phase 2: Autumn 2021 competition window.
• BEIS will manage the application, assessment and award process.
• All relevant application materials can be found on Gov.uk.
• We have partnered with the Knowledge Transfer Network who can help
you to partner with other businesses, access the Virtual Technology
Marketplace, and will be running events throughout the window.
• If you have a site in Scotland you can apply through the Scottish IETF,
our sister scheme, delivered by the Scottish Government.
9. The IETF has a budget of £289m out to 2025. We will allocate funding in England,
Wales and Northern Ireland in two phases:
• Phase 1 has concluded – we expect to spend up to £70m from two competitions.
IETF funding and competition windows
Window Approximate budget
Phase 2: Autumn 2021 £60m
Phase 2: Spring 2022 £60m
Phase 2: Summer 2022 £55m
Phase 2: Autumn 2022 £45m
• Phase 2 will allocate the
remaining funding across four
windows, including this one
(Autumn 2021).
• Phase 2 expands the initial
scope to include decarbonisation
deployment projects.
10. Energy Efficiency technologies
• Energy efficiency technologies have been supported in both Phases
• You can apply for a grant to install or retrofit process equipment on site
• Alternatively, you can carry out a study to investigate a technology option
We’d like to hear from you!
If you work in manufacturing or construction, please do take part in our online survey.
It asks about your firm’s energy usage and approach to energy efficiency; the barriers
you face; and the ways that BEIS could further support you.
The survey only takes 20 minutes and will ensure your sector is represented in future
policy www.iffresearch.com/BEISsurvey
11. Deep Decarbonisation technologies
Phase 2 opens the fund to decarbonisation deployment technologies for the first time. We will support
key technologies such as: Electrification; Fuel switching to hydrogen and other low carbon fuels; and
Carbon capture
Grants will be offered to install or retrofit process equipment on site, or to conduct a study. The IETF
does not support operating costs, fuel production or wider transport and storage infrastructures.
The IETF will complement a package of industrial decarbonisation policies, including:
• the £240m Net Zero Hydrogen Fund (NZHF)
• the £1bn Carbon Capture and Storage Infrastructure Fund (CIF)
The government will shortly announce the first successful clusters chosen for support through the CCUS
cluster sequencing process.
If your site could be part of these clusters, aiming to deploy CCUS by 2030, you might consider applying
to the cluster process which will run in parallel to the IETF. If successful, you can negotiate a package of
support towards your capital and operational expenses.
12. • The competition window ran from July to
October 2020.
• 39 applications were approved for funding,
around £31 million (subject to due diligence).
• A range of geographical regions, sectors,
technologies, and size of companies are
represented among the winners.
• Sectors include paper, food & drink, steel, and
glass

Eligible costs for studies
The eligible costs for studies are the costs incurred in the process of producing the final study
report. This will typically include resource costs such as consultancy or staff time.
In some instances, applicants may also need equipment to test or derive results necessary to the
study.
• Costs associated with testing of products, processes and services are eligible provided they
cannot be used, in any form, in industrial applications or commercially.
• Equipment cost claims should therefore reflect only the usage period relevant to the study
based, for example, on depreciation or rental costs.
The intention is to support studies necessary to facilitate the permanent installation of
technologies at industrial sites, rather than general research, development, options analyses
and testing of technology solutions.
Costs for developing prototypes and pilots are not eligible.
24. IETF Phase 2 Launch Webinar

Subsidy intensities
• There are maximum thresholds on the proportion of your eligible costs which can be supported
via a grant. Full details on these subsidy intensities can be found in the guidance.
• Your company size and location may impact on the maximum level of subsidy that you can
receive.

Decarbonisation proposals should reduce the emissions produced by industrial processes at
site level. While in some cases there may be an associated energy saving this is not the key
driver for the proposal and in many cases energy bills may in fact increase.
At the end of your project (project completion) you must have installed and begun to operate (or
be ready to operate) the decarbonisation technology.
27. IETF Phase 2 Launch Webinar

Eligible costs for deployment projects
The IETF will provide grant funding towards the up-front costs of deploying an energy efficiency or a
decarbonisation technology. Ongoing operating costs are not covered by this competition.
Examples of the type of costs that are eligible are capital and material costs, subcontractor costs, and direct
labour costs for the installation of the measure.
You must be able to demonstrate that costs are additional and necessary to achieving the energy or
emissions saving.
• where the costs of investing in energy efficiency or decarbonisation can be identified in the total
investment cost as a separate investment, this cost will constitute the eligible costs.
• In all other cases, the costs of investing in energy efficiency or decarbonisation are identified by reference
to a similar investment (for example, replacing equipment on a like for like basis) that would not achieve
the desired outcome.
The difference between the costs of both investments identifies the energy efficiency or decarbonisation-
related cost and constitutes the eligible costs.
28. IETF Phase 2 Launch Webinar
28
Aggregation
If you have more than one proposal, you may apply for them separately or as part of an ‘aggregated’
application.
Smaller deployment projects can be aggregated together to meet the minimum grant threshold. Since the
minimum thresholds for studies are set at low values, we require individual studies to exceed the minimum.
You have the option to aggregate up to five projects or studies (proposals) into one application, provided that:
• The proposals take place on sites owned by the lead applicant, and the proposals are undertaken with the
same project team
• The scope of the proposal meets the criteria of the strand of the competition you are applying for, such
that:
o Energy efficiency and deep decarbonisation technologies cannot be aggregated together.
o Studies and deployment projects cannot be aggregated together.
o Feasibility and engineering studies cannot be aggregated together.

EE technologies generate energy savings, measured/estimated in MWh after implementation, these
include:
• Process optimisation: industrial process control systems, individual controllable equipment,
higher efficiency heat exchange.
• Equipment upgrades: more efficient combustion equipment, driers, ovens, kilns, process
heating/cooling.
• Process heat and energy recovery and heat pumps where used to power on-site industrial
processes:
o Equipment to generate electricity using waste heat/pressure/process gas/waste process liquid
o Heat pumps where the heat is sourced from the natural environment or from waste heat
o Energy recovery from waste heat/pressure.
• Resource efficiency measures: measures to reduce wastage and optimise use of raw materials
that results in lower onsite energy consumption.

DD technologies should generate emissions savings, measured/estimated in CO2e before and after
implementation, including:
• Fuel switching - where the switch is to a lower carbon intensity fuel that is also not a higher
carbon intensity than the gas grid, this includes:
o Electrification of industrial processes
o Retrofits and upgrades of industrial equipment to use hydrogen or hydrogen blends
o Retrofits and upgrades of industrial equipment to use gas, or in certain instances biomass,
biogas and waste fuels
• Onsite carbon capture technology for utilisation or storage.

DD - biomass fuel switching (deployment and studies)
Applications that propose switching towards virgin biomass or residues (studies or deployment) will be
supported only where:
• the proposal involves a switch away from a fossil fuel with a higher carbon intensity
• the output from the biomass combustion is used in high temperature applications in which the
operational temperature of the industrial process or processes being heated is equal to or more
than 240 degrees Celsius.
• the source of the biomass is considered sustainable and will not result in adverse environmental
impacts. Feedstocks should typically be on the Biomass Suppliers List (for woody biomass) or the
Sustainable Fuel Register.
Applicants will need to justify the reasons for choosing biomass over other alternative
decarbonisation fuel switching options within scope of IETF funding.
35. IETF Phase 2 Launch Webinar
35
DD - hydrogen fuel switching (deployment and studies)
Fuel switches to hydrogen will be supported where these involve either a switch to 100% hydrogen fuel or a blend
of hydrogen and other fuels. The identified hydrogen supply must be low carbon, defined for the purpose of this
application window as equal to or lower carbon intensity than the gas grid. The use of “grey hydrogen” is only
permitted for temporary testing.
Hydrogen studies
• Applications for hydrogen studies must include realistic, economically planned hydrogen supply options.
• Where the project is dependent on the development of off-site hydrogen supply networks, for example in a
cluster setting, the applicant can note any core planning assumptions that have been made.
Hydrogen deployment
• Applications for hydrogen fuel switching deployment projects must include detailed information about the
proposed hydrogen supply.
• Applicants must demonstrate a realistic plan to begin utilising the identified hydrogen supply within 5 years
after project completion and any key risks associated with the project.

Static VAR Compensator (SVC) is an established piece of equipment that
compensates for the reactive power variations found in an Electric Arc
Furnace (EAF).
An EAF is a complex and heavy load in a power grid. It is a large, unbalanced,
and strongly fluctuating consumer of reactive power.
SVC Project and Technology Overview
Improved Power Quality
- Voltage variations/ Stabilization of voltage
- Power factor
- Harmonics
- Unbalance
- Flicker mitigator
Improved Process Economy
- Increased production
- Reduced energy losses
- Electrode savings
- Refractory savings
- Shorter Rolling time
To ensure good value for money,
three suppliers were approached for
the SVC.
On the basis that project would go
ahead, contracts have been
negotiated since the bid but no
capital committed until the start date.

Project and Technology Overview
Suppliers (such as Siemens or ABB) of this
equipment design to specifications of the
individual site and utilise their proprietary
knowledge to enable a bespoke solution for the
steelworks.
STATCOM is Hitachi ABB Power Grid’s SVC
offering.
A typical voltage drop of 8% leads to a
calculation showing 85% load of the rated
power – this means an 15% power could
theoretically be reached from the same
consumption.
This 15% can also directly translate to
production and help to reduce bottlenecks
elsewhere in the process.

concentrator. It is resulting in an order of magnitude drop in
the cost of producing high-temperature solar heat. Testing
shows available temperatures in the UK up to 310 degrees
Centigrade.
3. The services we offer are high-temperature process heat at a
low cost without using electricity or gas in a temperate climate.

Value stream recovery
Smarts-Ops is a privately
owned R&D company that has
developed the next generation of
Carbon Dioxide sequestration
technologies.
These technologies have been
shown to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions by more than 90% with
no secondary waste to dispose.
The Smart-Ops AirDR ™
technology Suite have a number
of advantages over the current
BAT including:
• Modularity
• Portability
• No secondary waste
• Low power requirement
85. 1. Your Project idea
We now have significant commercial run hours completed and would like to partner with the
heaviest producers of CO2 pollution to reduce their annual output by >90%.
1.We would like to employ our AirDR ™ portable system (30,000m3/h)(Slide 1 (top left) at key
locations to reduce not just CO2 but improve overall air quality for the humans working
there. This would be Airports, Logistics hubs and Highly industrialised urban areas.
This technology could also be implements around Volcanos, Building sites, Rubbish dumps and other
areas of Natural CO2 production to offset CO2 production industrially providing a massive competitive
advantage to UK industry.
2. We would also like to attach our AirDR ™ Max (10,000m3/h) (top right) to the outgoing
stacks of large to medium sized CO2 producing companies and work together with them to
maximise any value from those streams. The AirDr units can be complexed to treat more air
for larger producers.
Heavy industry (Cement production, Steel production), Food production, Power generation plants and
waste to energy locations.
2. What’s innovative about it?
We have utilised the most basic and stable first order chemical reaction to secure the
sequestration of the Carbon dioxide, we are the first company globally to apply this approach and
demonstrate it at a scalable commercial level.
In essence we use a combination of Catalysts, Enzymes, Bacteria as well as some surface tension
modification to capture the pollution in a modified Aqueous medium and then proceed to
stabilise and control the reactions occurring.
In the end we end up with a stable metal salt and water as our bi-products these can be added to
water courses or dried.
This is very similar to how the earth deals with Carbon dioxide only we do in seconds what takes
the earth hundreds of years to achieve. We have produced a novel technology based on an age
old proven technology we have just sped up the conversion and stabilisation of the pollutants.
Providing a Modular, low energy, portable, easily implementable and low maintenance Carbon
dioxide sequestration technology
In brief we have the “Most advanced, Yet acceptable/easily deployable” CO2 sequestration
technology available today.
3. The services you can offer?
Smart-Ops can build and provide the AirDR CO2 units as shown in the top two slides on the
previous page as well as:
1. Providing up front advice on optimisation and scoping for implementation of the
AirDR technology
2. Deploy Smart-Mon our remote monitoring sensors to demonstrate air quality
improvements/ Allow optimisation of placement
3. We also provide a targeted development partnership where specific industries have
other problematic air pollution output e.g. NOx, Sox, Carcinogens, Odours and we will
work with them to tailor our solution to their requirements. We have successfully
done this offering a future proofed solution to our Partners.
4. The partners/services you seek
We are looking to work with the highest producers of CO2emissions in the UK to
accelerate the implementation and commercialisation of this game changing Carbon
dioxide sequestration technology to achieve our company Mission.
Ensuring that all future generations of life on this planet have the same or better
standard of life as we have now.
