The report also calls for an urgent replacement for the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme to facilitate a scaling up of biogas production, and the development of regional hydrogen “clusters” expanding to form hydrogen “zones”.

Batteries, demand-side response (DSR) and interconnectors all have major limitations which mean they will unable to provide sufficient flexibility to balance the energy system by themselves, an expert from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) has warned.

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.

In a new report ‘UK housing: Fit for the future?‘ the CCC warns that the UK’s legally-binding climate change targets will not be met without the near-complete elimination of greenhouse gas emissions from UK buildings. The report finds that emissions reductions from the UK’s 29 million homes have stalled, while energy use in homes – which accounts for 14% of total UK emissions – increased between 2016 and 2017.
