To reach Net Zero, manufacturing more products in the UK that contain recycled content, and ensuring that they are reprocessed domestically, will be crucial. One material that exemplifies progress in this direction is aluminium, says resource expert EMR, which outlines important initiatives and progress, below. The aluminium recycling process requires only 5-10 percent of the energy needed to produce the primary metal, resulting in significant carbon emissions savings.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
