Shoreham Port | Industrial Cluster Plan
With around 40% of industrial emissions attributable to dispersed sites, defined as
“industrial sites located outside of industrial clusters” (UK Research and Innovation,
2023, p5; Climate Change Committee, 2023), collaboration is essential in understanding
the social, economic and environmental impacts of our Cluster and developing a viable
plan by which to decarbonise.
A hub for businesses ranging from SMEs to major
multinational organisations, collaborative research has been key in understanding the
collective impact of the Cluster, communicating with over 200 individual organisations
and Port users to map our collective social, economic and environmental impact,
providing insights at an unprecedented scale. As outlined in sections five and six, we
have sought to capture the diversity of requirements and ambitions organisations hold
within the Cluster, facilitating knowledge sharing to accelerate the identification of
barriers and enablers of industrial cluster decarbonisation. Collectively, this has enabled
the development of a thoroughly informed plan.
