Industrial Energy Transformation Fund Podcast Series
Innovate UK KTN and The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) are pleased to share this short podcast series with you.
The discussions led by Innovate UK KTN’s Jenni McDonnell MBE will talk to different stakeholders including policy makers, industrial sites and delivery partners who are helping industrial sites to understand what they could achieve by taking advantage of this opportunity.
The Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF) provided by the Dept for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is providing capital investment to industrial sites to help them to deploy industrial energy efficiency and decarbonisation technologies and make a difference right now.
Whether you are an industrial site owner, technology provider or someone who is interested in our journey to net zero, why not tune in? We would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the topics covered, and hope you enjoy listening.
Episode 1: What is driving the move toward net zero?
