We are in the exciting age of the Green Industrial Revolution. As part of the UK Government’s goal for the country to reach net-zero by 2050, Boris Johnson recently announced a 10 point Green Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. This includes changing national infrastructure to better support the use of electric vehicles and creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in the process.
What Are The 10 Green Plan Points?
- Advancing Offshore Wind
- Driving the Growth of Low Carbon Hydrogen
- Delivering New and Advanced Nuclear Power
- Accelerating the Shift to Zero Emission Vehicles
- Green Public Transport, Cycling and Walking
- Jet Zero and Green Ships
- Greener Buildings
- Investing in Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage
- Protecting Our Natural Environment
- Green Finance and Innovation
As well as quadrupling offshore wind power by 2030, the green plans also contribute to another one of the Government’s goals: to make the UK a world leader in clean wind energy.
From producing enough hydrogen to power industry and a public sector scheme to decarbonise buildings, it seems there has never been a better time for businesses in the UK to start looking at how green energy can benefit their business.

The Government’s green plan has already been called ambitious by many, and various initiatives are being set up to support the transition to green, clean energy in the UK.
We’ve discussed the financial benefits of switching to an electric vehicle in a previous Kakakpo blog post. So we’re excited that the Prime Minister announced £582 million in grants for those buying zero or ultra-low emission vehicles to make them cheaper to buy and incentivise more people to make the transition.
