IChemE responds to the Chancellor’s Spending Review
11th June 2025
In response to Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ Spending Review, Andrew Foster, Director, Strategic Partnerships and Impact at IChemE commented:
“We welcome the emphasis on investment in clean energy in today's Spending Review - this is a vital topic for individuals, companies and the planet. We eagerly await details of the Government's plans to address the high costs of energy faced by British businesses, as these costs make it harder for companies to grow or be competitive. We hope that the forthcoming industrial strategy will see the Government set out their plans in this area.”

What is chemical engineering?
Chemical, biochemical and process engineering is the application of science, mathematics and economics in the process of turning raw materials into everyday, and more specialist, products. Professional chemical engineers design, construct and manage process operations all over the world. Energy, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, synthetic fibres and clean drinking water are just some of the industry sectors and products where chemical engineering plays a central role.
