The push to quickly transition carbon-intensive activities away from fossil fuels while meeting the world’s growing energy needs has put electricity producers and consumers squarely in the forefront of the emerging clean economy. Manufacturing is going electric, too, as companies ratchet up their net-zero-carbon goals. Joel Makower.

But Imperial College London analysis warns emerging technologies and negative emission power plants are likely to be needed to unlock full decarbonisation of the grid. Wind and solar alone generated around 30 per cent of Britain's electricity in 2020, while biomass provided seven per cent, and hydropower made up 1.6

The cost of new wind and solar generation, on a levelized cost of energy basis, is now lower than that of new thermal and hydropower generation, and increasingly below the operating cost of existing thermal plants. Existing hydropower plants can also help with this large ramp up power.

Drax said the new plant could be operational by 2030, providing critical stability services to the grid by acting like a "giant water battery" that can store excess power at times of peak generation and dispatch it to the grid at times of peak demand.

utility can reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while still keeping natural gas as a central part of its business, both to generate electricity and to sell to its customers. That includes a recommitment to reaching its 2030 goal of reducing carbon emissions below 50 percent of their 2007 levels, potentially ahead of schedule.

The authors of the report also showed that carbon emissions fell by 16% compared to figures from 2019. Covid19 created a fall in generation demand. Naturally, energy demand declined as office blocks fell dark and leisure activities were suspended, but these latest Drax figures indicate something else. The broader picture.
