Critical Minerals Security Programme
Critical minerals have risen rapidly up the policy agenda as a cornerstone of energy and economic security. These minerals are not only crucial for energy technologies but also play a vital role in high-tech industries, aerospace, defence, AI data centres, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing, making them central not only to energy security but also to broader national and economic resilience. The IEA Critical Minerals Security Programme is the Agency’s flagship framework designed to help countries strengthen mineral security. Building on the IEA’s leading analytical capabilities in critical minerals markets and its long-standing experience in safeguarding energy…

Hydrogen Net Zero Investment Roadmap (2023)
£960 mln. The UK Hydrogen Net Zero Investment Roadmap outlines the country’s ambitious goals to develop a robust hydrogen economy, aiming for up to 10GW of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, with a potential 27GW pipeline by 2037. Key initiatives include the Hydrogen Allocation Rounds (HAR1 and HAR2) to support commercial-scale green hydrogen projects, the Green Industries Growth Accelerator (GIGA) fund, and the development of hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure. The roadmap emphasizes hydrogen’s role in decarbonizing hard-to-electrify sectors, enhancing energy security, and supporting the UK’s net zero targets.

EU-Catalyst Partnership
…commercialise innovative technologies that will help deliver on the European Green Deal ambitions and the EU's 2030 climate targets. Investments will be directed towards a portfolio of EU-based projects with high potential, in the following sectors: clean hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuels, direct air capture, long-duration energy storage and industry (steel and cement decarbonisation). It awarded its first projects (for hydrogen-based fuels and long-duration energy storage) in 2023. Through early co-operation to provide complementary public grants and private finance (grants, debt or equity), the partners can reduce overall financial risks and speed up project development.

Low Carbon Transport Strategy
The UK Low Carbon Transport Strategy was a key component of the UK Low Carbon Transition Plan, outlining the transport sector's role in meeting the UK's legally-binding carbon budgets to 2022, committing the UK to cut its emissions by 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050. The plan had three components, the first comprising measures to support a shift to new technologies and fuels, the second to promote lower carbon transport choices, and the third to use market mechanisms to encourage a shift to lower carbon transport. It is not a current statement of government policy.
