Textiles UK overachieves against 3 consecutive carbon budgets 22 May '24 2 min read Pic: Adobe Stock Insights The UK has overachieved against three consecutive carbon budgets and halved emissions since 1990. The country will not carry forward surplus emissions cuts from the past five years into the next carbon budget, reinforcing its commitment to net zero by 2050. This decision aligns with the Climate Change Committee's advice to maintain ambitious climate targets. The UK’s government has announced that the country has overachieved against three consecutive carbon budgets, and hence, the surplus greenhouse gas emissions cuts achieved over the last five years will not be carried forward into the next carbon budget. This decision underscores the UK's commitment to achieving its ambitious net zero targets by 2050.Building on its track record, the UK has become the first major economy to halve emissions since 1990 while simultaneously growing its economy by around 80 per cent. Between 2018 and 2022, the UK overachieved its legally binding emissions target by 15 per cent as part of Carbon Budget 3. The UK is also set to exceed its goals for Carbon Budget 4, spanning 2023 to 2027, demonstrating that the government's approach to net zero is both proportionate and compatible with meeting climate targets without imposing unnecessary costs on families, the UK government said in a press release.Under the UK's Climate Change Act, if the country emits fewer emissions than the legal limit, the government has the power to bank the surplus for future carbon budgets. However, the decision not to carry forward this surplus aligns with the advice provided by the independent Climate Change Committee, ensuring that the UK remains within its ambitious targets without additional headroom to emit greenhouse gases in the coming years.The UK has overachieved against three consecutive carbon budgets and halved emissions since 1990. The country will not carry forward surplus emissions cuts from the past five years into the next carbon budget, reinforcing its commitment to net zero by 2050. This decision aligns with the Climate Change Committee's advice to maintain ambitious climate targets.“By deciding not to carry forward our over-performance from the third carbon budget, we are doubling down on our commitment to reach net zero, and we’re already halfway there. This will keep the UK at the forefront of global efforts to cut its emissions, but we will do this while also driving down consumer bills,” said Energy Security and Net Zero Minister Justin Tomlinson.“The committee congratulates the government on its decision not to carry forward any surplus from the Third Carbon Budget. It’s the right choice. It shows an understanding of both the climate science and the very real need to accelerate progress on emissions reduction,” said Professor Piers Forster, interim chair of the Climate Change Committee.

Textiles UK invests £77 mn in clean maritime tech to go net zero 07 Feb '23 3 min read Pic: Shutterstock/ Michael J Palmer UK’s maritime sector is set to go net-zero after a multi-million-pound Zero Emission Vessels and Infrastructure (ZEVI) competition was launched to help decarbonise the country’s maritime tech. The £77 million government investment in clean maritime technology is expected to make sailing zero-emission ferries, cruises, and cargo ships possible in the UK within just two years.The funding will take the tech from the factory to the sea—identifying which projects will have a long-term impact in reducing emissions, said UK’s department for transport, Innovate UK, and member of parliament Mark Harper.UK's maritime sector is set to go net-zero after a multi-million-pound Zero Emission Vessels and Infrastructure (ZEVI) competition was launched to help decarbonise maritime tech. The £77 million government investment in clean maritime technology is expected to make sailing zero-emission ferries and cargo ships possible in the UK within two years.Successful projects must show they could use this money to work with major UK ports and operators to launch a zero-emission vessel by 2025 at the latest. Examples of such technology include battery electric vessels, shoreside electrical power, ships running on low carbon fuels like hydrogen or ammonia, and wind-assisted ferries.Transport secretary Mark Harper said: “When it comes to tackling climate change, we are taking action on all transport modes, which is why we’re making sure our world-leading maritime sector has a greener future. This multi-million-pound investment will help the latest tech ideas become reality and ensure UK waters will play host to green cargo ships, ferries, and cruises in the next few years. Our funding will support a cleaner freight system, a more environmentally friendly tourism industry, and a net-zero maritime sector.”The multi-million-pound ZEVI competition will see innovative companies apply for the funding, which must be used to decarbonise technology both on board and shoreside. The investment demonstrates the government’s commitment to a new green age for maritime travel, which is free from emissions, in line with the 1.5-degree temperature target set by the Paris Agreement.Defence secretary and shipbuilding Tsar Ben Wallace said: “Our National Shipbuilding Strategy Refresh set ambitious plans to drive the green maritime revolution as a key step to reaching this government’s net zero targets. This investment is a clear statement that we are taking these plans seriously, helping to put the UK at the cutting edge of clean maritime technology while benefitting thousands of UK jobs.”The competition will be overseen by Innovate UK, which has a record of delivering similar competitions across government successfully.Innovate UK executive director for net zero Mike Biddle said: “This latest £77 million investment in clean maritime innovation is another major milestone in the delivery of the wider UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions (UK SHORE) programme to accelerate the transition to net zero. Innovate UK will work closely with the department for transport in delivering the ZEVI competition, resulting in multi-year real world demonstrations of clean maritime technologies around the UK.”The government is also calling on universities across the UK to join forces to establish a new Clean Maritime Research Hub, with £7.4 million funding from government and additional funding from academia and industry.Research in the fundamental science behind clean maritime technologies will be delivered by the hub, building evidence and expertise for the maritime sector. It will also support skills development across the industry and generate knowledge for maritime decision-makers.The hub will be delivered in partnership with and co-funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).The ZEVI fund and Clean Maritime Research Hub are part of the UK SHORE programme, launched in March 2022 with £206 million in funding. UK SHORE aims to tackle shipping emissions and advance the UK towards a sustainable shipping future. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (NB) More Textiles News - United Kingdom...
