Industrial Net Zero Policy
Olivia Absalom,
Deputy Director, Industrial Energy Transformation

• To reach the Net Zero target in 2050
industrial emissions need to fall by
around 90% from today’s levels.
• The recent Net Zero Strategy 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 Pathway

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, Hydrogen Strategy and Net
Zero Strategy.
4
3
Market Building: BEIS is committed to carbon pricing.
We have launched the UK Emissions Trading Scheme
and this is being further developed.

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.

IETF - Who's Who?

Eligible IETF technology solutions
We have taken a technology neutral approach. Our guidance sets out some specific eligibility
requirements and we encourage to read this before starting your application.
The IETF has a broad remit in terms of sectors and technologies. Eligibility rules are guided by the
following principles:
1. Projects should demonstrate that they will reduce energy use and/or carbon emissions from
existing industrial processes;
2. Projects need to align with our net zero goal for 2050;
3. This is a transformation fund – we will not support projects where there is already Government
support, or where equipment is well-established and affordable.
4. Technologies should be at a relatively advanced stage of commercial readiness: TRL 7 and above
for decarbonisation and 8 and above for energy efficiency solutions.

Deep Decarbonisation technology solutions
Phase 2 opened the fund to decarbonisation deployment technologies for the first time.
This means that alongside energy efficiency projects that reduce the energy consumptions of processes,
we can also support direct emissions reductions from solutions such as:
• electrification;
• fuel switching to hydrogen and other low carbon fuels;
• and carbon capture
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) and support available through the
Cluster Sequencing process

Net Zero Innovation Portfolio
If you are at an earlier stage on your decarbonisation pathway or have a less
mature technology, there may be support available through NZIP

To lead an application your organisation must be a registered business, of any size, in England,
Wales or Northern Ireland.
As lead applicant you must carry out an eligible industrial process, at an existing site (or sites)
Who is eligible to apply?

21
Collaboration
Lead applicants can collaborate with other organisations. As a project partner your
organisation must:
• be a business of any size, a research organisation, a research and technology organisation,
an academic institution, a charity or public sector organisation.
• be registered in England, Wales or Northern Ireland
• carry out work in relation to the lead applicant’s site located in England, Wales or Northern
Ireland
The maximum share of costs that research organisations may claim is 30%. This is the total
across all research organisations on the project.
BEIS will only have a legal relationship with, or pay money to, the lead applicant. The lead
applicant and project partners must also sign a collaboration agreement.

22
Your business size and location affects the level of
grant support that you can receive
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.

23
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.

emissions of an industrial process.
• a technical approach including performance and commissioning and acquisition of materials, expertise etc.
• carbon reduction and other benefits analysis, economic forecasting
• health and safety, and permitting planning and consent
• project delivery requirements, risks and risk management strategy
A single study can investigate deploying a technology in up to 5 sites owned by the lead applicant.

26
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.

Energy efficiency proposals should reduce the energy consumed by industrial processes at
site level, attributing benefits to both the bill savings (we anticipate most efficiency projects will
have a positive payback) and any associated emissions savings.
At the end of your project (project completion) you must have installed and begun to operate (or
be ready to operate) the energy efficiency technology.

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.

29
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.

Technology Readiness Level (TRL)

32
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.
Energy Efficiency (deployment and studies)

33
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.

• Fuel switching is only
permitted where the switch
is to a less carbon
intensive fuel.
• The gas grid is used as a
benchmark for the
maximum acceptable
carbon intensity of the new
fuel (unless your site does
not have gas grid
connection).

35
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 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.
Applicants will need to justify the reasons for choosing biomass over other alternative
decarbonisation fuel switching options within scope of IETF funding.

36
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.

37
DD - carbon capture (deployment and studies)
Carbon capture projects are eligible where it can be evidenced that the captured CO2 will be utilised either onsite
or offsite (CCU), or where it is transported and stored permanently (CCS). The intended or achieved outcome of
these projects must involve a reduction in carbon emissions associated with an eligible industrial process.
Carbon capture studies
• Applications for carbon capture studies must include realistic, economically planned utilisation or transport
and storage options.
• Where the project is dependent on the development of off-site transport and storage networks, for example in
a cluster setting, the applicant can note any core planning assumptions that have been made.
Carbon capture deployment
• Applications for hydrogen fuel switching deployment projects must include detailed information about the
proposed CO2 utilisation or transport and storage route
• Applicants must demonstrate a realistic plan to begin capturing and utilising or permanently storing the
captured CO2 within a maximum of 5 years after the project completion date, and any associated risks.

38
Out of Scope
• New builds and expansions: funding cannot be used to
o support capital delivery of new build plant.
o repurpose a manufacturing site for a new industrial process.
o cover the costs of a project which aims to expand the capacity at an existing plant.
• Repair and maintenance
• Building improvements: including building lighting / space heating and cooling not integral to the
industrial process.
• Production of fuels
• Renewable electricity generation: i.e. solar panels or wind turbines, unless from waste heat,
waste pressure, waste process gas or waste process liquid not suitable for transport use.
• CHP is only supported with fuel switching as a DD project.

SOFIDEL AND THE SDGs (UNITED NATIONS
AGENDA 2030)
We are committed to promoting the transition to
an economic system able to:
Deliver a long-term vision that considers
our planet a common home and a place to
achieve fair and sustainable well-being;
Recognise the central role of Natural
Capital;
Introduce production processes that
imitate nature’s circular processes.
SOFIDEL SDGs
Sofidel’s sustainability strategy aims at “building an inclusive, sustainable and resilient future for people
and planet”, in accordance with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.

SOFIDEL UK BAGLAN
The site covers an area of 33.2 hectares and the core activity is the production and
conversion of tissue paper. The site comprises of a 5.4m paper machine, stock approach
(virgin and broke), water treatment plant, gas boiler, 9 converting lines and various
warehousing. The production is a continuous process and operates on a 4 shift 24/7 basis
producing approx. 70,000 tonnes of paper per annum of parent reels and approx. 85,000
tonnes of finished product. It currently employs around 320 people.

SOFIDEL UK BAGLAN- WHY APPLY FOR IETF?
• Papermaking process needs massive amount of fuel and power (Sofidel UK
Baglan is under the UK ETS Directive).
• Our production site is situated in a heavily industrial area which is classed
as one of the six industrial clusters (South Wales) in the UK.
• A key focus area for the government is to establish the world's first net
zero industrial cluster by 2040 which will be aided by the funding provided
by the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund.
• Classed as Assisted Area ‘A’
• Recognised under state-aid as being less economically advantaged area
• Benefit from additional support
• Eligible apply for 45% of the total cost of the project
• Before the availability of Industrial Energy Transformation Fund funding,
we had not considered this type of project for our South Wales plant due
to budget constraints within the company.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
• Visconip/Redry Project
• The project formally started 1st July 2021
• Chose to partner with Valmet on the project due to a long standing relationship
between the companies
• Working with Valmet, we will be rebuilding the ViscoNip and installing the
Valmet Advantage Redry
• The project must be completed by November 2022
• Allocated Monitoring Officer to check progress
• 5 Year Monitoring plan once equipment operational to demonstrate savings to
BEIS

TECHNOLOGY
The project involves installing new equipment on our paper machine to
enable the paper to be dried in a more efficient manner, saving the fuel
for the heating process.
Fig.1 PM1 INDICATING LOCATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGY

TECHNOLOGY- VISCONIP
The Advantage ViscoNip has a flexible liquid filled press body which has the unique
ability to adapt to the same profile as Yankee dryer surface, this leads to a uniform nip
load for a wide range of liner loads. This innovative press allows a higher dewatering
degree for mechanical action instead of thermal action.

TECHNOLOGY- REDRY
Valmet Advantage ReDry is a
product designed to reduce energy
consumption. The Redry system
recovers otherwise wasted heat
from the paper machine hoods
which is then blown evenly via a
Blow Box. This use improves the
machine general efficiency, while
reducing emissions into the
atmosphere.

TECHNOLOGY- REDRY
The solution proposed is a combination of
the two technologies. The Redry system
recovers wasted heat from the paper
machine hoods which is then blown
evenly via a Blow Box onto the web
increasing its temperature. This heating
effect reduces the water viscosity of the
web just before it enters the press which
improves the press performance, this
leads to an increase in dryness level post
press substantially reducing the amount
of drying required by the gas fired high
temperature hoods

PROJECT BENEFIT TO SOFIDEL UK
The outputs that we expect from the project are:
❖ an additional dryness of our paper between 3.8 and 4.8 % after the press
compared to current operations
❖ considerable savings on our gas consumption. An increase in 1% of dryness
equates to a 4-5% saving on energy
❖ reduced energy costs
❖ reduction in our CO2 emissions thus contributing to the decarbonisation of the
South Wales area
❖ improvement in the quality of paper produced (increased softness)
❖ more competitive in an increasingly competitive industry
❖ assist in Sofidel's commitment to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
reduction targets by 2030

CARBON SAVINGS
• Reduction of approximately 20,000 MWh/year in gas consumption ( 17 % of saving)
• Increase of 3,100 MWh/year in electrical consumption
That results in an annual CO2 reduction of approximately 3,390 tons/year !

Environmental Treatment Concepts

The decarbonisation of wastewater treatment plants
(WWTP) in the food and beverage industry by means of
chemical free water treatment. With the aim to enhance
solids separation on the primary plant and improve the
energy efficiency of secondary biological treatment.
Improving solids removal in the primary plant could reduce
the energy consumption of the biological plant in excess of 1
kW per m3 of effluent flow, equivalent to a 20% saving
The use of physical / chemical free water treatment is
innovative as it is a way of increasing solids removal
efficiency in primary treatment without the need to
use extra chemicals such as polymers. Technology can
be retro-fitted to existing assets. The system
comprises of an external induction coil, it requires no
shut down to install. There are currently no other
equivalent devices operating in the market of
commercial wastewater treatment.
Supply and installation of physical water treatment
devices for the decarbonisation of process streams.
Supply and installation of physical water treatment
devices to enhance process throughput.
Monitoring and reporting services in support of the
