In a letter to BEIS Secretary Greg Clark, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has set out a series of priorities to decarbonise the UK economy, calling on the government to use its forthcoming Energy White Paper to provide more clarity on its vision. Published on Friday 28 June, priorities include: progressing large-scale nuclear projects and supporting innovative nuclear technologies; the investment in technology trials to determine the best, localised solutions to decarbonise heat in homes, offices and industrial processes; a clear mix of incentives for consumers and businesses to buy electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, alongside a comprehensive nationwide infrastructure ready for future demand.
