The UK is a world leader in clean growth. We have led the G7 in reducing emissions while growing our economy. Delivering clean growth is central to our Industrial Strategy, as one of 4 Grand Challenges – global trends which will transform our future, where we can put the UK at the forefront of the industries of the future.

We want to ensure that the innovative companies we support are visible and championed for their work in developing clean technology of the future, providing them with the opportunity to promote themselves to potential investors.

The Clean Growth Strategy has innovation at its heart, offering over £2.5 billion of government investment for low carbon technology, and we want to highlight the support the government is offering to those businesses delivering low carbon technologies.

This is part of the broader work that the government is undertaking through the Industrial Strategy’s clean growth Grand Challenge, to ensure the UK maximises the economic and commercial benefits of the global transition to a low carbon economy.

In addition to the spreadsheet which illustrates the range of projects which have benefited from government funding since April 2012 we have developed a https://datavis-energyinnovation.beis.gov.uk">data visualisation tool. The tool will showcase companies who have received funding through BEIS directly such as from the Energy Entrepreneurs Fund as well as from Innovate UK and EPSRC which are both part of UK Research and Innovation.

Our hope is that this will bring greater transparency to the actions of government, highlight the support on offer for low carbon technology and interest the following groups:

• investors looking to invest in UK businesses (including in the UK and abroad)
• investors looking for information on the level of support for R&D in the UK
• Department for International Trade and British Trade Posts (to connect companies to international opportunities)
• UK companies (who are seeking partnerships and export opportunities)

Summary of some of the key developments in the UK energy system: how energy is produced and used and the way in which energy use influences greenhouse gas emissions.

The business population estimates for the UK and regions (BPE) provides the only official estimate of the total number of private sector businesses in the UK at the start of each year.

Business population estimates 2021 is the latest in the annual publication of Business population estimates.

This publication differs from other national statistics outputs produced by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) on value-added tax (VAT) traders and pay as you earn (PAYE) employers. The ‘Guide to Business Statistics’ sets out the differences. The business population estimates provide further information by number of employees, legal status, industry and geography.

The Department’s Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008: statement of compliance provides details of officials and ministers who have pre-release access to the Business population estimates for the UK and Regions.

Future release dates will be announced on the GOV.UK release calendar.

Each government department has published detailed information about projects on the Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP). This includes a Delivery Confidence Assessment rating, financial information (whole life cost, annual budget and forecast spend), project schedule and project narrative.

The data reflects the status of the GMPP at 31 March 2022 and supports the 2022 Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) annual report.
