UK Net Zero Economy

Companies developing technologies and providing services that enable farming and food production to reduce, avoid, or sequester greenhouse gas emissions or make farming practices more resilient to climate change.

Companies providing technology and services for increased energy efficiency and resource usage in built environments and buildings in design and under construction.

Companies dedicated to carbon capture, storage and utilisation.

Any company that has a purpose to bring renewable energy to local communities or make current energy and environmental practices more efficient. Communities are both improved and have control in the process through which energy is generated. Not for profits and social enterprises are included.

Companies that develop measures to avoid, track and minimise industrial emissions. This is focused on the aviation and marine industries and involves long term mitigation options rather than short term fixes such as oil spill clean ups.

Companies that are providing services and technology for the capture and later release of energy sources, including electromagnetic storage, high temperature thermal energy storage, chemical energy storage, electrochemical energy storage (batteries) and mechanical storage.

Structured financial activity that invests in net-zero infrastructure and energy or enables people and places have greater access to net zero practices.

Companies developing, manufacturing or installing low carbon and renewable heat sources. These primarily include heat pumps and biomass boilers but also geothermal and solar thermal energy sources.

Organisations and businesses that offer carbon footprint auditing, environmental assessments, tailored reduction plans, carbon tracking, low carbon strategies or other services for monitoring and reducing carbon emissions.

This vertical includes all companies that operate and/or provide renewable and low carbon energy, including nuclear, hydrogen, wind, solar, biogas/biofuels, geothermal and hydropower. This vertical was made with reference to the REPD.

Companies focusing on the development, technology, infrastructure and direct construction of LEVs: vehicles which emit less than 75 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre. Most commonly electric or hydrogen powered, this vertical includes cars, vans, lorries/trucks bikes, scooters, planes and construction vehicles.

Companies that monitor and treat the effects of pollution on soil and freshwater quality and those that recycle wastewater prevent pollution from further causing these effects and minimise carbon emissions. The treatment methods involve soil stabilisation and bioremediation.

Companies involved in the medium to large scale generation and distribution of energy, that is either renewable or traditional but made to be more efficient through grid management software or consultancy.

Companies dedicated to solid waste removal, management, processing and recycling.
