Collaboration
South Wales is home to a significant industrial base, including the UK’s largest integrated steelworks, one of the UK’s seven oil refineries and one of only four nickel refineries in Europe.
In addition, there are a number of other energy intensive manufacturing plants and industries within a diverse range of sectors including steel recycling, cement, paper, glass, mineral wool and chemicals, food and general manufacturing industries.
As well as its unique industries, South Wales has a large and diverse energy supply sector including large combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power stations, one of which is among the largest in Europe, plus numerous on-shore wind sites and two liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals which supply over 20% of the UK’s natural gas demand.
The SWIC collaboration can, alongside helping to deliver regional industrial decarbonisation, challenge and accelerate the timescales laid out by the UK’s emissions policies and contribute to a more prosperous Wales.
