The three-year study found that up to 95% of people would be happy to avoid charging at times of peak grid demand, or when electricity is at its most expensive.

In a set of reports created for Energy Technologies Institute (ETI), experts at Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) found that no single approach to decarbonising the energy system can be applied nationwide, with each local area requiring a unique mix of technologies and networks.

Recent weather disasters serve as a stark reminder that natural hazards such as extreme wind, flooding and hail can cause a wave of damage and destruction to various types of infrastructure across the energy system. Therefore, it is important that stakeholders within the industry have a shared understanding of the risks and impacts associated with natural hazards to ensure people and infrastructure are protected.

The ETI has released an update of its ‘Options, Choices, Actions’ report, originally published in 2015, illustrating two cost-optimised decarbonisation pathways for the UK energy system to meet its 2050 climate targets.

The report, ‘HGVs and their role in a future energy system‘, aims to address the decarbonisation options for HGVs as part of the wider energy system to help the UK reach an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and then to go beyond towards net zero.

‘Still in the mix? Understanding the role of Carbon Capture Usage and Storage’, was written by the Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) for the ETI, and takes into account recent cost reductions in renewables and the latest ETI modelling on CCUS costs. The report reaffirms previous ETI work on the importance of CCUS deployment by 2030, without which carbon abatement costs will increase by circa £1 billion a year. The research also cements ETI analysis that if CCUS is not developed at all before 2050, the ‘national bill’ for low carbon energy that year would be circa £35bn higher – equivalent to circa 1% of expected GDP.

The report reviews ETI’s 10-year bioenergy programme and recommends an increase in biomass production and the creation of the right environment to advance bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) as a core component in a push to a low and net zero carbon UK.
