UK government offers $300 million to help big emitters clean up

摘要

The UK government has offered GBP220 million ($300 million) to help the country’s largest carbon emitters to cut their emissions and reduce energy bills, it said Sept. 22. Companies will be able to bid for a share of the funding, which aims to support projects such as carbon capture and storage and heat recovery technology. “This move comes as the UK works to build a secure, homegrown and clean energy sector to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and exposure to volatile global wholesale energy prices,” the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said in a statement.
