On 12 October 2017, the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (DBEIS) published a [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/clean-growth-strategy Clean Growth Strategy] described as; ‘An ambitious strategy setting out how the UK is leading the world in cutting carbon emissions to combat climate change while driving economic growth’. This fulfils the government’s commitment to demonstrate how it will deliver carbon reductions under the Climate Change Act, which sets a legally binding targets and a series of five-year caps on greenhouse gas emissions up to 2050. The Strategy focuses on hitting the fifth carbon budget (2028 to 2032).

The government suggest that UK carbon emissions fallen faster and further than any other nation in the G7, down 42% since 1990. The Clean Growth Strategy sets out how the country can benefit from low carbon economic opportunities and meet targets to tackle climate change. They believe the low carbon economy could grow 11% per year between 2015 and 2030.

The Strategy sets out how more than £2.5 billion will be invested to support low carbon innovation from 2015 (even though the Strategy was published in 2017) to 2021, as part of the largest increase in public spending on science, research and innovation in more than three decades.

Measures set out in the Strategy include:

* Up to £10 million for innovations that provide low carbon heat in domestic and commercial buildings.
* Up to £10 million for innovations that improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings.
* An extra £14 million for the Energy Entrepreneurs Fund.
* Up to £20 million in a Carbon Capture and Utilisation demonstration programme.
* Up to £20 million to demonstrate the viability of switching to low carbon fuels for industry.
* Up to £20 million to support clean technology early stage funding.

Business and industry efficiency, commitments to:

* Develop a package of measures to support energy productivity.
* Establish an Industrial Energy Efficiency scheme to help large companies install measures to cut their energy use.
* Collaborate with global partners and invest up to £100 million in carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS) and industrial innovation.

Improving our homes, commitments to:

* support around £3.6 billion of investment to upgrade around a million homes through the Energy Company Obligation (ECO), and extend support for home energy efficiency improvements from 2022 to 2028 at least at the current level of ECO funding
* we want all fuel poor homes to be upgraded to Energy Performance Certificate Band C by 2030 and our aspiration is for as many homes as possible to be Energy Performance Certificate Band C by 2035 where practical, cost effective and affordable
* develop a long term trajectory to improve the energy performance standards of privately-rented homes, with the aim of upgrading as many private rented homes as possible to Energy Performance Certificate Band C by 2030 where practical, cost effective and affordable

Low carbon transport, commitments to:

* End to the sale of all new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040.
* Spend £1 billion supporting the take-up of ultra-low emission vehicles.
* Work with industry to accelerate the transition to zero emission vehicles.
* Invest around £841 million of public funds in innovation in low carbon transport technology and fuels.

Clean, affordable energy, commitments to:

* Phase out the use of unabated coal to produce electricity by 2025.
* Provide up to half a billion pounds for further Contract for Difference auctions for less established technologies.
* Deliver new nuclear power through Hinkley Point C.

Agriculture and natural resources, commitments to:

* Design a new system of future agricultural support.
* Establish a new network of forests, in support of a commitment to plant 11 million trees, and increase the amount of UK timber used in construction.
* Work towards zero avoidable waste by 2050.
* Publish a new Resources and Waste Strategy.

A taskforce of senior financial experts has been given 6 months to deliver ambitious proposals to accelerate investment in the transition to a low carbon economy, creating high-value jobs and opportunities for UK businesses, and will examine a range of interventions, from making infrastructure investment more sustainable to scaling-up green mortgages.

Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark said; “For the first time in a generation, the British government is leading the way on taking decisions on new nuclear, rolling out smart meters and investing in low carbon innovation. The world is moving from being powered by polluting fossil fuels to clean energy. It’s as big a change as the move from the age of steam to the age of oil and Britain is showing the way.”

Climate Change and Industry Minister Claire Perry said; “The impact of the Paris agreement and the unstoppable global shift towards low carbon technologies gives the UK an unparalleled opportunity. By focusing on Clean Growth, we can cut the cost of energy, drive economic prosperity, create high value jobs and improve our quality of life.”

The would seem to run counter to recent government decisions to scrap the Green Deal, the Zero Carbon Homes strategy and the Code for Sustainable Homes.
