This report has been informed by a call for evidence conducted by Sandbag
between October 2019 – January 2020 and builds on Sandbag’s previous work
on industrial emissions policy. It follows on from Sandbag’s report on Barriers to
Industrial Decarbonisation, published in Spring 2018, which drew heavily on input
from industrial stakeholders. The purpose of that report was to understand what
policy gaps exist in decarbonising Europe’s major industries. This report attempts
to find policy solutions to bridge the gaps identified in the 2018 report and enable
European industry to transition to net zero emissions.
