Position StatementLinking the UK and EU Emissions Trading Schemes
UK chemical sites compete in a global market, whilst facing comparatively higher energy and climate related policy cost. The UK’s chemical assets have dwindled over the last decade, most notably we have lost many of the facilities producing major chemical building blocks and polymers.
-
Position StatementElectrifying Chemical Production
Whilst we welcome support through the existing British Industry Supercharger and proposed British Industry Competitiveness Scheme, these only fractionally reduce the electricity price to selected sectors and do not provide the level of reduction required to spur widespread industrial electrification.
-
Position StatementBiogas for Industrial Decarbonisation
Following the EU’s lead the UK could quicky establish a market-based demand for biogas, reducing the need for public subsidy and allowing UK ETS operators to reduce their emission footprint. Such a move would boost UK industrial competitiveness and liberate public and private finance to invest in UK growth and decarbonisation.
-
Position StatementCircular chemicals and the UK Emissions Trading Scheme
The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) Authority is considering responses to its consultation of summer last year on the integration of greenhouse gas removals into the UK ETS.
-
Position StatementRepurposing the Climate Change Levy in an era of decarbonisation
Since its introduction in 2001, the CCL has been instrumental in driving energy efficiency in the UK’s industrial sectors, but as we focus on the challenge of industrial decarbonisation, it is becoming clear that the CCL acts a blocker to investment in net zero manufacturing.
-
Position StatementExtending the UK Emissions Trading Scheme Cap Beyond 2030
Our sites can decarbonise if we create the right investment conditions for green production here in the UK, namely access to clean and competitively priced energy, together with policy that allows a clean manufacturer to pass through its green premium to the consumer.
-
ArticleEnergy and chemicals: Why it matters
This briefing document sets out why energy prices are fundamental to the survival of our industry, a key driver in investment decisions and key asks from the sector.
-
Position StatementUK Carbon Pricing and Border Adjustment
How UK carbon policy could be a driver of net zero investment, helping to secure the UK’s position as a global leader in industrial decarbonisation.
-
Position StatementThe future of the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund
The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) outlines key recommendations for the structuring of a new funding scheme for industrial decarbonisation, that would maximise impact and ensure the UK’s industrial heartlands can transition to a low-carbon future.
-
NewsQuarterly Energy Outlook
The CIA has worked with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to help inform and develop one element of the Act, the ‘British Supercharger’ policy support package, to deliver a meaningful and permanent solution to the high electricity prices faced by domestic manufacturers.

ReportAccelerating Britain’s Net Zero Economy the chemical industry
Close cooperation between Government and business, data driven policy measures and a just transition are key to improving the UK’s business environment for sectors who operate in global markets.
-
ReportNavigating Net Zero
The journey to net zero began over three decades ago for the chemicals sector, seeing a reduction in our greenhouse gas emissions by over 80% since 1990.
-
ReportThe Chemical Industry: Delivering a low carbon future 24 hours a day
Chemicals are essential to modern healthy living and are also vital to delivering a low carbon economy. We are doing this by continuously reducing our own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and helping others to reduce their emissions by using chemical products and technologies. Many of these solutions are produced in the UK. UK and EU strategies to reduce GHG emissions need to recognise the role we play if the chemical industry’s contribution to the low carbon economy is to be maintained and enhanced.
-
ReportShale Gas: The Facts
As a major energy user, the UK chemical industry supports the development of unconventional gas (including shale gas) while protecting the environment and ensuring that the public are both safeguarded and receive associated benefits.
-
Position StatementThe Hydrogen Climate Solution
As a country our energy supply needs to be decarbonised rapidly to help mitigate climate change. Hydrogen alongside clean electricity will be required.
-
Position StatementEnergy and Climate Change
The chemical industry’s products and technologies will provide the foundation for net zero. We create the advanced materials that seed new low-carbon industries and drive green growth in the UK, but chemistry is energy-intensive and even in normal times the cost of energy is a challenge for UK manufacturers.
