The UK could reverse decades of decline in manufacturing by building on some of its existing industrial strengths to meet the challenges of net zero.
A report by The Institute for Public Policy Research has identified several key products and areas in which the UK is already a world-leading manufacturer, such as heat pumps and off shore wind.
The analysis, given exclusively to Sky News, reveals how a more focused green industrial strategy and investment could boost left behind areas and the broader economy.

In June 2022, the average price for energy for households in Russia was 0.06 US dollars per kilowatt-hour, while in the UK, gas prices have risen to 45p per therm in February 2021, and then twelve-fold to £5.38 in August 2022. However, Russia is one of the countries with the cheapest electricity prices in the world, while countries that import a lot of fossil fuels for electricity are more vulnerable to price fluctuations.
Drill our own
Such a small country and other countries bigger than us are still drilling for oil and gas why should we import there oil and gas and make our citizens poorer use it to boost our economy and infrastructure for the future in renewable energy we have thousands of using food banks this government have wasted our resources
Who cares and it's a big scam anyway! Anything to take money from tax payers!
Who cares?! It makes no difference to anything.
This invasion will be more ruinous.
Net zero is the biggest scam in the uk's history we dont even contribute 1% to the worlds carbon footprint.
Madness.
Skynews missing the point many are talking about. To meet net zero tax payers will need to pay more and prices for things like petrol, food and electricity which will have a negative impact on our economy and people's finances.
Wow complete self-delusion. Name one world leading green company from the UK! Or a tech company? We're just a third world "service economy" (ie. Deliveroo)
We need to, or it’ll be yet another opportunity utterly wasted by this useless government.
A race to the bottom!
Who cares about green targets?
Not me nor anyone I know.
Travel regularly to India and China and see how they care about 'green'
We are the carbon they want to reduce
Normal men must rise up and put an end to the cult of climate change.
Wind turbines, solar panels and electirc vehicles are NOT green, they are worse for the environment and net zero is a political scam as proven by sciene.
Sky keep pushing this propaganda for the global elite to profit and control us more, dont fall for this scam!
It s not about green it’s about the future economys
