Sep 14, 2022 · The study’s ‘Fast Transition’ scenario, shows a realistic possible future for a fossil-free energy system by around 2050, providing 55% more energy services globally than today, by ramping up solar, wind, batteries, electric vehicles, and clean fuels such as green hydrogen (made from renewable electricity).
Oct 12, 2021 · The price increases are expected to result in sharp upward pressure on household energy bills and also present broader risks to economic activity, especially for sectors that are directly exposed to the price rises. Many governments have taken measures to alleviate electricity bills, especially for vulnerable consumers.
A legacy of the global energy crisis may be to usher in the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era: the momentum behind clean energy transitions is now sufficient for global demand for coal, oil and natural gas to all reach a high point before 2030 in the STEPS. The share of coal, oil and natural gas in global energy supply – stuck for decades around 80% – starts to edge downwards and ...

A major focus of the Energy Security Strategyis expanding home-grown, low-carbon sources for UK energy supply over the next 20 years, alongside commitments to completely remove Russian oil and coal imports by the end of 2022, and Russian gas “as soon as possible thereafter”.
According to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Russian imports supplied only 2.2% of energy used in the UK in 2021. However, the disruption to the global energy market following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created market uncertainty, wholesale price volatility and an increased demand for non-Russian energy sources. T...
To meet the UK’s projected 50% increase in electricity demand by 2035, the targets for low-carbon power generation have been increased in the Energy Security Strategy paper, compared to previous targets in the Energy White Paper. The table below includes both targets, alongside the Climate Change Committee (CCC) recommended capacity targets and cur...
The strategy introduces policy to reduce consent times for offshore wind planning from four years to one. It also introduces Great British Nuclear, a new delivery body for the proposed eight new large nuclear reactors to be brought to final investment decision by 2030. The North Sea Transition Dealsets out plans for necessary investment and infrast...
A Government press release featured widespread industry support for the targets set out on nuclear, offshore wind and hydrogen, and the CCC’s initial response credited the “hugely ambitious” strategy for going beyond its own recommendations in The Sixth Carbon Budget. The CCC’s full response will form part of its next annual Progress Report to Parl...
The Government’s Net Zero Strategy outlined plans to promote the decarbonisation of power, industry, heat and transport. The December 2020 Energy White Paperlaid out policies to encourage the energy sector to cut emissions and promote low-carbon energy generation. The Government has set out market and regulatory reform for a smart, flexible energy ...
Oct 27, 2021 · They are wrong. High prices are here to stay for years. The seeds were sown in oil’s golden era between 2010 and 2014 when oil prices averaged above $100. Booming US shale production over that ...
