CLUSTER PLAN PROJECT

A Plan for Clean Growth

The SWIC cogs and roots of
decarbonisation
 
To address the highly complex concepts underpinning industrial decarbonisation, the Cluster Plan has identified activity areas that are supported by cross-cutting themes. This thinking has evolved into the five cogs of decarbonisation supported by seven roots of support.

The five cogs for industries to reach net zero can be summarised as:

The underpinning roots to support a successful transition to net zero for SWIC industries are:

A.  Resourcing, Skills and Supply Chain Requirements
B.  Circular Economy Principles and Carbon Accounting Requirements
C.  Generation of Clean Energy and Infrastructure
D.  Research and Innovation
E.  Legal and Planning
F.  Investment Requirements
G.  Stakeholder Engagement

The underpinning roots to support a successful transition to net zero for SWIC industries are:

Why is SWIC important?

South Wales is the second biggest industrial and power emitter of carbon in the UK, with over 16m tonnes of CO2e per annum but around 90% of those emissions are produced by 3 companies – all of which are involved in SWIC.

SWIC’s activities for industrial decarbonisation are currently focused on 2 streams of work – the Deployment Project and Cluster Plan.
