The public health benefits of realizing 100 percent zero carbon electricity by 2035 would be enormous. Moreover, avoiding all these negative health impacts creates massive economic productivity gains – getting to 100 percent in 2035 would avoid losing about 1.7 million workdays to poor health.

The government must now address the market for all the low carbon energy technologies of the future, including hydrogen and CCUS, argues Siemens UK & Ireland CEO Steve Scrimshaw. While emissions from electricity generation in the UK have almost halved on 1990 levels , there's still a long way to go to meet net zero.

The falling cost of wind and solar power significantly reduces the need for carbon capture and storage technology to tackle climate change, a new paper has argued. Now that renewable electricity is so cheap, this should cause us to seriously rethink the role of CCS.”. by the end of the century. Renewables.

The Planning Inspectorate had opposed the project, warning it could lock-in high carbon infrastructure at the expense of the UK's climate goals, marking the first time it had opposed a major project on such grounds. It also argued wind and solar power would be more cost-effective for bill payers compared to new gas power capacity.

In a previous article , I analyzed the carbon footprint of producing hydrogen from fossil fuels. That is how over 95% of the world’s hydrogen is currently produced. To recap, the carbon footprint of hydrogen production from natural gas in a steam methane reformer (SMR) is higher than from directly burning the natural gas.
