Funding
The work reported forms part of a programme of research at the University of Bath on industrial decarbonisation supported by a series of UK research grants and contracts awarded by various bodies associated with the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Energy Programme for which the second author (GPH) was the funding holder. This programme is a cross-council initiative led by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), and contributed to by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The research grants associated with industrial energy demand and GHG emissions reduction originally formed a part of the ‘core’ research programme of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC); Phase 2, 2009-2014 [under Grant NE/G007748/1]. The first author (PWG) undertook his contributions to the present work as part of a UKERC flexible funding project entitled ‘Industrial Energy Use from a Bottom-up Perspective’ [for which the second author (GPH) was the Principal Investigator]. In parallel, the third author (RCMcK) held a UKERC Interdisciplinary Research Studentship. The second author (GPH) continued to work in the field of industrial decarbonisation supported by the EPSRC ‘End Use Energy Demand’ (EUED) Programme, as part of the Centre for Industrial Energy, Materials and Products (CIE-MAP) [under Grant EP/N022645/1], as one of its Co-Directors. This submission reflects an academic study originally funded via the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Energy Programme (see the Acknowledgements section). UKRI is a non-departmental public body [sponsored by the UK Government's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)] responsible for supporting research and knowledge exchange at UK higher education institutions, as well as the UK's innovation agency (Innovate UK). The Corresponding Author (GPH) continued to work in the field of industrial decarbonisation supported by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) ‘End Use Energy Demand’ (EUED) Programme, as part of the Centre for Industrial Energy, Materials and Products (CIE_MAP). He was one of the CIE-MAP Co-Directors. The co-authors are therefore not aware of any actual or potential conflict of interest including any financial, personal or other relationships with other people or organizations within three years of beginning the submitted work that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to influence, their work.
