Growing the market for low carbon industrial products: policy framework
We're seeking views on policy options for growing the market for low carbon industrial products, including steel and concrete.
Update: 10 September 2025
We have extended the consultation closing date to 29 September 2025 (from 15 September).
The government is consulting on a framework to deliver the guidance, tools, and levers to help buyers identify and compare lower carbon industrial products, with an initial focus on the steel, cement, and concrete sectors.
These policies will enable buyers (including public bodies who have substantial purchasing power) to make informed choices through better information on the carbon content of industrial goods. An increased demand signal should drive the growth and mobilisation of ‘green’ investment and ultimately lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
