answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2021 answer text <p>The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy use emission projections[1] for different sectors of the economy including for Iron and Steel out to 2040 (see Annex C: Carbon dioxide emissions by IPCC). The emission projections show the Iron and Steel sector has carbon emissions of 9 Mt CO<sub>2</sub>e by 2040.</p><p>The Department has published an Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy[2] which presents two options for decarbonisation of the Iron and Steel Industry by 2050:</p><p>i) The first option shows the abatement potential of carbon capture utilisation and storage (abatement of 6.7 Mt CO<sub>2</sub>e);</p><p>ii) A second option of fuel switching to hydrogen and electric arc furnace. The second solution suggests hydrogen fuel switching of 3.9 MtCO2e and 3.5 MtCO2e of electric fuel switching by 2050.</p><p> </p><p><em>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/energy-and-emissions-projections" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/energy-and-emissions-projections</a></em></p><p><em>[2] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/industrial-decarbonisation-strategy" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/industrial-decarbonisation-strategy</a></em></p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 23/03/2021 16:31:47 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2021 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of research and development in helping to transform the steel sector so that it can play a vital role in developing a cleaner, greener economy in the UK. We have taken a number of steps to facilitate the decarbonisation of steel making in the UK, including;</p><p> </p><p>Firstly, a £315 million Industrial Energy Transformation Fund which aims to support businesses with high energy use to cut their bills and reduce carbon emissions.</p><p> </p><p>Secondly, providing up to £66m through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund to help steel and other foundation industries develop radical new technologies and establish innovation centres of excellence in these sectors.</p><p> </p><p>Thirdly, establishing a £250m Clean Steel Fund that will support the decarbonisation of the steel sector, supporting its transition to new low carbon technologies and processes. The Government also plans to establish a Net Zero Hydrogen Fund (previously Low Carbon Hydrogen Production Fund): with £240m of capital co-investment out to 2024/25. This will support at-scale production from both Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) enabled (‘blue’) hydrogen and electrolytic (‘green’) hydrogen projects.</p><p> </p><p>Finally, as part of the Spring 2020 Budget, the Chancellor announced £22m (subject to a business case) for the Materials Processing Institute in Teesside to deliver a R&amp;D programme of transformation manufacturing - to help UK steel and metals sector improve efficiencies, slash emissions and ultimately boost global competitive edge.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 23/03/2021 15:50:06 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
