The document discusses the Carbon Trust's Accelerator Programme for the brick sector in 2010. It identifies several potential areas for carbon reduction projects, including using low-carbon fuels, improving clay preparation and firing processes, capturing waste heat, and developing more efficient kilns. Industry stakeholders voted on the proposed ideas and agreed on 5 challenge areas for funding, such as using biomass combustion or capturing waste heat. The next steps outlined submitting proposals and selecting projects for the selected technologies.
