Tackling industrial emissions is essential for the UK to deliver on its climate commitments and achieving economic and social prosperity from the transition to net zero. IDRIC was established in 2021 as part of the UKRI Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge to support the decarbonisation of industrial clusters. During this time, IDRIC has developed an influential and impactful network at a critical time and become an essential catalyst bringing together the research and innovation community to accelerate the pace and scale of industrial cluster decarbonisation.Funding for current IDRIC activities will cease in Spring 2024. However, the need for the functions IDRIC is delivering - the research work plus bringing together the relevant players in an environment that allows and encourages trust and collaboration, reduces barriers and accelerates progress - will continue for decades. The UK needs to take long term, multi-decadal decisions to providing long term commitment for industry emission reductions into the 2030s and IDRIC is exceptionally well placed to lead EPSRC activity towards the delivery of the UK's Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy.This proposal represents funding for a 12-month transitional period (April-2024 to March-2025), which will be crucial to support IDRIC in maintaining essential momentum and the community cohesion necessary to safeguard the knowledge, experience and relationships built at this critical time for industrial decarbonisation. The objectives have been co-created with industry and academia building upon the established sense of belonging and the long-term relationships and associated trust required to deliver:Continue to synthesise and disseminate learnings and impacts from the cluster focussed, challenge-led research delivered in 2021-2024.Foresight and horizon-scan of industry-informed research and innovation needs of decarbonisation to deliver towards targets of 2030, 2040 and 2050.Co-create and share knowledge by maintaining active networks and platforms to stimulate cross-learning and engender national/international collaborations for developing net zero solutions.Support policy, skills development and mission advocacy by providing evidence to policymakers, regulators, industry, the wider supply chain and the public to promote decarbonisation.To date, IDRIC have carefully considered that continued engagement is critical and also dependent on stakeholders gaining ongoing strategic benefit from their interaction. This has been key to IDRIC's current success, as shown by bringing together relevant players in an environment that allows and encourages trust and collaboration, reduces barriers and accelerates progress. Therefore, with this 12-month funding we will be prioritising key stakeholder engagement that are aligned with 3 workstreams; Clusters & Partnerships; KE & Synthesis; Cross-cutting Themes (Policy, Skills, EDI).The activities for this phase of IDRIC are designed to utilise IDRIC's unique convening power. They will deliver a suite of outputs e.g. (frontiers report, industry net-zero innovation roadmap) scoped through engagement with the community to ensure maximum impact from the current phase and strategic activities in support of a mapping a clear path for the critical steps required from 2025-2030 - crucial to enabling the realisation of the UKs first net-zero cluster by 2030.

解决工业排放问题对于英国兑现其气候承诺以及实现向净零过渡的经济和社会繁荣至关重要。 IDRIC 成立于 2021 年，是 UKRI 工业脱碳挑战的一部分，旨在支持工业集群脱碳。在此期间，IDRIC 在关键时刻建立了一个有影响力的网络，并成为将研究和创新界聚集在一起的重要催化剂，以加快产业集群脱碳的步伐和规模。对当前 IDRIC 活动的资助将于 2024 年春季停止。然而，对 IDRIC 所提供的功能的需求 - 研究工作以及将相关参与者聚集在一个允许和鼓励信任与协作、减少障碍并加速进展的环境中 - 将持续数十年。英国需要做出长期、跨十年的决策，为 2030 年代的工业减排提供长期承诺，而 IDRIC 非常适合领导 EPSRC 活动，以实现英国的工业脱碳战略。该提案代表为12 个月的过渡期（2024 年 4 月至 2025 年 3 月），这对于支持 IDRIC 保持保护知识所需的基本势头和社区凝聚力至关重要，在工业脱碳的关键时刻建立的经验和关系。这些目标是与工业界和学术界共同制定的，建立在既定的归属感、长期关系和相关信任的基础上，以实现：继续综合和传播以集群为重点、以挑战为主导的研究的经验教训和影响。 2021-2024年。对脱碳的行业知情研究和创新需求进行前瞻和视野扫描，以实现 2030 年、2040 年和2050.通过维护活跃的网络和平台来共同创造和分享知识，以刺激交叉学习并促进国家/国际合作，以开发净零解决方案。通过向政策制定者、监管机构、行业、迄今为止，IDRIC 已仔细考虑，持续参与至关重要，并且还依赖于利益相关者从互动中获得持续的战略利益。这是 IDRIC 当前成功的关键，将相关参与者聚集在一个允许和鼓励信任与协作、减少障碍并加速进展的环境中就证明了这一点。因此，通过这 12 个月的资金，我们将优先考虑与 3 个工作流程相一致的关键利益相关者的参与；集群与伙伴关系； KE与合成；跨领域主题（政策、技能、EDI）。IDRIC 这一阶段的活动旨在利用 IDRIC 独特的号召力。他们将提供一套输出，例如（前沿报告，工业净零创新路线图）通过与社区的接触来确定当前阶段和战略活动的最大影响，以支持为 2025-2030 年所需的关键步骤制定明确的路径 - 这对于实现到 2030 年实现英国第一个净零集群。
