Green industrial strategy

Overview

Industrial strategy has a key role in helping polluting industries to decarbonise, while also developing the low carbon industries of the future in growth sectors like wind power, electric vehicles, hydrogen and advanced materials.

Green Alliance has long called for a long-term industrial strategy to guide the transition towards a low carbon economy. The government’s industrial strategy white paper, published in June 2025, largely answered our calls for green industries to form a central plank of its program. Describing describes the low carbon economy as ‘the economic opportunity of the century’, the white paper set out eight priority growth areas, including clean power and advanced manufacturing, and 37 ‘frontier industries’ within them, altogether comprising around a third of the UK economy.

As the strategy takes shape, our work will encourage and support the government to prioritise effective decarbonisation pathways while supporting economic growth and innovation in green industries.
