| Résumé : |
The unusual weather patterns across Europe during the summer of 2023 served as a timely reminder of the need to address the so-called climate emergency. The unusually hot weather reinforced the call for action from the UN Secretary-General António Guterres at COP27, in late 2022. He stated1: “The world still needs a giant leap on climate ambition. The red line we must not cross is the line that takes our planet over the 1.5-degree temperature limit.” The primary means for achieving this target is a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuel in the coming decades. But what exactly does this mean for manufacturing industry in Europe and the UK ?
The European objective, clearly articulated in the EU Green Deal, is to achieve zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. European Industry is tasked with reducing their CO₂ emissions by at least 55% as compared to 1990, by 2030. The UK was the first major economy to make net zero a legally binding target and the government’s ambition, as defined in the document ’Net Zero Strategy : Build Back Greener‘2, is to reduce CO₂ emissions by 68% by 2030 and a 78% reduction in emissions by 2035 on 1990 levels. This is a more ambitious target than the EU and predicated on the belief that decarbonisation of the economy will present many opportunities for business growth and employment. These high-level targets and aspirations have been taken up by UK manufacturing with many companies defining their own objectives and roadmaps to zero carbon or carbon neutrality.
Coil coating is no different to many other manufacturing activities and this paper describes how the decarbonisation challenge is being addressed by the industry and how it is being turned into reality at Tata Steel’s coil coating business at Shotton in North Wales. |
