Labour backs gas grid evolution
It said that “ripping up all our gas mains and throwing everyone’s boilers out” is not a sensible approach to decarbonising heat in the UK.

Is CCS worth the candle?
“The costs of carbon capture and storage must come down if it is to play a part in the long-term decarbonisation of the UK’s economy.”

Heat 2016
Heat accounts for almost one half of UK energy costs and the cost of heat continues to rise. Britain faces an urgent challenge in transforming how homes, offices and industry are heated; in its recent report Next Steps for UK Heat Policy, the Committee on Climate Change put it simply: “deployment of low carbon heat cannot wait until the 2030s”.
Green gas could heat majority of homes in Britain, says Ecotricity
The plans were released today within a new report from the independent green supplier. The report found that, by 2035, almost all homes in Britain could be heated by the green gas from grass – creating an industry worth £7.5 billion annually for the economy.

Green gasses will help solve the energy trilemma
King Canute could not turn back the tides; he acknowledged his powers were limited. Similarly, UK politicians must recognise that our geographic location, climate and weather patterns are major determinants of future energy policy and that they can try but will fail to alter them. The energy trilemma, a phrase that rightly suggests the difficulty in balancing the competing demands of affordability, reliability and sustainability, should be set against the UK’s particular energy needs.

Given the green light: gas
While attention has been focused on the review of the innovation mechanism, network companies have continued quietly to vie for the funds up for grabs every year. In early December, Ofgem revealed the six successful projects from this year’s Network innovation Competition (NIC). Projects that will shape the future of the sector. It also identified projects that were found wanting.

Gas networks in line for transporting shale gas: Decc
At a ministerial summit in Leeds, hosted by Northern Gas Networks, Leadsom told Utility Week that using the existing gas networks for the transportation of shale gas is an “interesting idea”, especially if combined with innovations such as using hydrogen in the gas grid.

Gas: four paths to 2050
While attention is focused on distribution network operators and the rise of distributed generation, it is easy to forget that both the electricity and gas transmission networks have their own challenges to face. National Grid brought those challenges sharply into focus with the publication last month of its annual set of documents setting out the long-term future of its transmission. networks.

Gas network evolution cheapest way to decarbonise heat
Utilising the existing gas distribution and transmission assets and adapting them to cope with green gases is predicted to cost £104 billion to £122bn by 2050 is estimated to be at least £34bn cheaper than alternative methods.
