This report has been prepared for the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the Energy Intensive Users Group (EIUG) to consider the innovative low carbon technology solutions needed for key energy intensive sectors. It reflects the aligned interests between employers, unions and the government to support the transition of these key industries to a low carbon economy. Representatives of the UK’s energy intensive industries were consulted to discuss sector specific experiences of low carbon technologies and UK innovation. Potential technology options, barriers to low carbon investment and the need for policy support and technical cooperation were examined.
