Industrial manufacturing in Europe is changing
Our research shows that European manufacturers are working hard to meet decarbonisation targets, but major challenges remain.
0%
Are falling behind their energy transition & decarbonisation plans
0%
Cite a lack of technology as a block to decarbonising operations
0%
Are planning for carbon allowance costs to increase due to regulations
UK & EU ETS compliance
The European manufacturing sector relies on emissions trading schemes to comply with regulations. However, the availability of allowances is set to decrease dramatically in the next five years, meaning demand and costs will rise.
ETS timeline
Significant changes are on the horizon for a number of industries across the UK and Europe.
Achieving sustainable manufacturing
CFP Energy can supply a range of sustainable fuels, renewable energy solutions, and financial services to help you drive your energy transition.
Green certificates enable manufacturers to prove renewable electricity use across production lines, improving carbon transparency and helping to meet both internal targets and customer requirements, particularly in supply chains with strict sustainability criteria.
Learn moreBiofuels offer a drop-in solution for heat, power, or transport applications in industrial facilities, allowing companies to reduce reliance on fossil fuels without major equipment overhauls, helping lower carbon intensity and meet emissions targets.
Learn moreManufacturers can use voluntary carbon credits to offset hard-to-abate emissions from process heat, materials, or transport, helping achieve decarbonisation milestones while longer-term investments in cleaner technologies are developed or scaled.
Learn moreMany industrial sectors fall directly under the UK ETS or EU ETS. Active participation in these schemes, including allowance management and strategic compliance planning, is critical for cost control and regulatory adherence.
Learn moreIndustrial producers can use PPAs to secure long-term, fixed-price renewable energy directly from suppliers, reducing exposure to volatile energy markets while supporting energy transition and carbon footprint reduction across energy-intensive operations.
Structured risk management tools help manufacturers hedge against energy and carbon price fluctuations. Liquidity solutions ensure access to funding for green upgrades or carbon credit procurement without disrupting working capital.

FAQs
Industrial CO₂ emissions can be reduced by implementing energy efficiency upgrades, electrifying processes, switching to renewable energy sources, and adopting low-carbon fuels. Integrating smart manufacturing systems and carbon capture technologies enables scalable decarbonisation strategies aligned with industrial sustainability goals.
Carbon capture involves extracting CO₂ emissions from industrial processes, then compressing and transporting them for underground storage or reuse. It enables heavy industries to significantly reduce carbon footprints, especially in hard-to-abate sectors like steel, cement, and chemical manufacturing.
Carbon management is a strategic approach to monitoring, reducing, and offsetting CO₂ emissions across the industrial value chain. It includes emissions tracking, carbon accounting, and deploying decarbonisation technologies to ensure regulatory compliance and support net-zero manufacturing objectives.
Sustainable production refers to manufacturing processes designed to minimise environmental impact while maximising resource efficiency. This includes reducing waste, cutting carbon emissions, optimising energy use, and integrating circular economy principles to achieve long-term industrial sustainability and resilience.
