The report:
· Presents the industrial NRMM market structure
· Develops an evidence base of decarbonisation options available – from low carbon fuels, to tethering, hydrogen solutions and battery electric machinery
· Identifies barriers and enablers to deployment of the identified options – the literature findings were greatly enhanced by the input of over 90 stakeholders
· Provides illustrative deployment scenarios to 2050.
A wide range of abatement solutions are being pursued for industrial NRMM: Their suitability depends on a wide range of parameters which are specific to the site and machinery, including tasks performed, utilisation levels and the size, duration and location of the site. Battery electric industrial NRMM have the widest range of zero tailpipe emission products commercially available across all sectors and are part of all major OEM roadmaps.
The UK NRMM market is part of a wider global market: The UK’s position as an industrial NRMM exporter would be at risk if policy to decarbonise UK industrial NRMM was substantially different to future (yet unannounced) policy in the EU and the USA (43% and 28% of NRMM exports by value in 2022). Ensuring alignment with these markets will protect the UK’s position as a net exporter and protect UK businesses that currently export industrial NRMM.
