Gas grid decarbonisation needed, report argues
The report ‘Pressure in the pipeline: decarbonising the UK’s gas‘ argues that deeper decarbonisation of UK gas is essential if the country is to meet its current and likely future emissions reduction target. The report assesses how to decarbonise gas in the UK by increasing the supply of low carbon gases and by reducing demand for gas in the heat sector. It calls for new government investment and incentives for decarbonisation to be an urgent priority in Ofgem’s next price control framework for gas from April 2021.

Gas networks ‘exaggerating’ peak heat challenge
Hydrogen and other green gas gases will be unable to fully decarbonise heating, according to University of Exeter energy policy researcher Richard Lowes, leaving electrification, district heating and perhaps solar thermal as better long-term solutions to the problem. The ENA, meanwhile, maintains that a “whole system” approach is the most reliable, secure and affordable solution.
