Summary

The project will involve identifying the location of industrial customers and their associated energy consumption, drafting data-sharing agreements between project partners and establishing a data-sharing infrastructure. Indus 2.0 aims to enhance the forecasting of industrial decarbonisation by developing data-sharing agreements between Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs), with the shared data being used to inform potential decarbonisation routes for several industrial sectors.  
 
Stakeholder engagement will ensure scalability and alignment with industrial customers’ decarbonisation goals. The project will also develop a comprehensive report and materials for dissemination of learnings. The learnings from Indus 2.0 will allow network operators to become better informed as to how they can best support industrial customers in the decarbonisation of their processes.
