Decarb Connect UK brings together 200+ leaders from the most energy intensive industries to accelerate the next phase of UK industrial decarbonisation
Over the past year, the UK has made notable progress in industrial decarbonisation — from projects reaching FID and fresh government commitments, to the landmark decision to reduce electricity charges by 90% for the most energy-intensive industries. There are real reasons for optimism.
Yet, against a turbulent geopolitical backdrop and a challenging UK fiscal environment, clarity and decisive government action remain essential to stay on course for the 2050 targets.
Now in its 4th year, Decarb Connect UK brings together industrial leaders, investors, policymakers, and technology innovators to accelerate progress toward a low-carbon industrial economy. This is the leading platform for collaboration, insight, and deal-making across the UK’s hard-to-abate sectors.
“The single best conference in the UK for discussing industrial decarbonisation. A fantastic exchange of ideas.” David Watson, Head of Energy Transition, Cadent
New for 2026: Finance & Investment in Focus
The 2026 edition introduces a sharper focus on financing and investment opportunities across industrial decarbonisation:
- Day 1: Explore industrial strategies, the UK energy system and large-scale, capital-intensive projects, including the commercial, technical, and regulatory pathways to reaching FID.
- Day 2: Dive into the scale-up and commercialisation of breakthrough technologies, and engage with tech start-ups and investors from across the capital stack.
Connect. Collaborate. Accelerate.
Networking sits at the heart of Decarb Connect UK. Engage in curated speed networking, interactive roundtables, and peer-to-peer discussions designed to spark partnerships and unlock new opportunities.
Join industry peers, flagship UK project leaders, tech leaders and the financial community to gain the insights and connections needed to catalyse the next phase of UK industrial decarbonisation.
