The trade body has seized on a funding announcement published earlier this week by the Department for Transport and the Office for Low Emission Vehicles, which they claim show gas-powered vehicles offer better value for money, both for taxpayers and passengers.

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.

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.

Innovation is at the forefront of the gas and electricity agenda as companies strive to create the networks for the future today. At the centre of this drive for innovation is the shift away from passive system management, towards the operation of active and flexible networks, carefully and dynamically balanced to accommodate new patterns of supply and demand.

On 1 March 2018, when the UK was amid the ‘Beast from the East’, National Grid issued a gas deficit warning for the first time since the system was introduced in 2012. The warning followed multiple gas supply outages, including South Hook LNG terminal, Kollsnes gas processing plant and the BBL interconnector between Britain and the Netherlands.
