Major UK industry bodies, including the CCSA and Hydrogen UK, are urging the government to provide clear investment signals for industrial decarbonization. They warn that high electricity costs and policy uncertainty are stalling critical projects in carbon capture and hydrogen production. The groups are calling for a refreshed hydrogen strategy, streamlined planning processes, and a carbon border adjustment mechanism to protect domestic industries. Without these interventions, they argue the UK risks losing its industrial base to global competitors with lower energy costs.
