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.

ENA invites feedback on gas innovation strategy

The Strategy sets out the challenges and the opportunities facing the gas transmission and distribution networks as the UK looks to decarbonise its energy system to meet climate change targets. It looks at the role that existing gas infrastructure can play in meeting demand for power, heat and transport in a low carbon economy. The Strategy seeks views from technology providers on how they would like to see gas network companies play a role in delivering greater energy innovation in the future.
