We have collaborated with a number of businesses in the Humber region  to create a video aimed at educating children about the industry’s commitment to a sustainable future. Titled ‘what is decarbonisation?’ the video explains various technologies that will help to transform their region over the coming decades, such as carbon capture, lower carbon hydrogen and biomass, emphasising their crucial roles in helping industries reduce carbon emissions and produce lower-carbon products.

The video also aims to inspire children by showcasing the diverse career opportunities available in the industry, from accountants to engineers, technicians, HR professionals, and more. Decarbonisation projects are expected to create new jobs, strengthen supply chains, and contribute to a robust economy.

The video, created by CATCH, Drax, Equinor, Harbour Energy, Phillips 66, SSE Thermal, and VPI, highlights the importance of collective action among Humber businesses in tackling climate change. By bringing together resources and expertise, these companies are not only advancing their own carbon emission reduction goals but also contributing to a larger movement towards a more sustainable future.

The Humber region presents one of the largest opportunities for industrial decarbonisation, as it is the UK’s largest industrial emitting cluster, making it essential to decarbonise if we are to achieve UK net zero goals.

Katie, Hedges, Director of Membership & Low Carbon Strategy at CATCH said:

Decarbonisation is an opportunity to inspire the next generation. By showcasing the innovative technologies and diverse career paths in our industry, we aim to empower children to envision a sustainable future and their role in it. The Humber region is at the forefront of this transformation, and together, we can achieve our net zero goals while driving economic growth and job creation.
