Estimated to cost up to £28bn, the project is coordinated by ENA's Gas Goes Green initiative, which is bringing together all Britain's gas network companies in a bid to deliver the world's first zero-carbon gas grid. The current iron pipes carry methane-based natural gas. We need to decarbonise the gas that we use.

In addition, vast quantities of carbon and methane pollution are released into the atmosphere. Between 2002 and 2008 both populations exhibited similar hospitalization trends. But research continues to show that, after accounting for methane, gas is no better than coal. Indeed, it is likely worse.

The UK's 'carbon footprint' is an oft-debated topic among green policy and energy wonks. Given the intricacies of the UK economy and its myriad supply chains, drawing up an accurate estimate of the UK's true 'carbon footprint' is an extremely complicated challenge. The overall carbon footprint stood at 772 million tonnes in 2017.

A small metal platform at the top, 48 metres above the floor of a peatland rainforest reserve, provides a unique, 360-degree vantage point to witness one of the most biodiverse, carbon-rich habitats left on Earth. In fact, peatland contains up to 50 per cent carbon content, compared to the two per cent typically found in mineral soil.

Beneath all that white serenity, some of those fires actually continue smoldering underground, chewing through carbon-rich peat, biding their time. They calculated that between 2002 and 2018, overwintering fires were responsible for 0.8 Northern soils are loaded with peat, dead vegetation that’s essentially concentrated carbon.

When they form new bodies of water, they contribute to the thawing of frozen permafrost, which is a natural reservoir for methane and carbon dioxide. These beavers carry dead trees and shrubs to create dams, resulting in new lakes that flood the permafrost soil and release methane.

It’s quite simple,” said Andreae, who served as a Green Party member of parliament from 2002-2019. It’s clear that if we want to reach carbon neutrality by 2045, we have to transition away from gas. But we’ll need molecules, and that is the deciding factor. “In But much depends on the way the hydrogen is made.
