However, the authors warn the UK's seas are increasingly crowded and that an uncoordinated approach to the current offshore wind farm boom could hurt the potential for hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies in the region in the future. The North Sea is absolutely central to that whole mission.".

Without a clear and ambitious government plan zero carbon home heating by 2050 remains a pipe dream, a new analysis from the UK Energy Research Centre warns. But she voiced her disappointment that the research did not consider the role of biomethane, biomass or geothermal energy in delivering low carbon gas and heating in the UK.

Delaying action until there is a carbon price, clearer risk projections or a systemwide standard is something governments are warning could quickly become unaffordable. While the world hasn’t fully started carbon pricing as a primary solution, it still could. It’s clear now that we all have to figure out how to stop waiting.

Last year, a team at Oxford’s Institute for New Economic Thinking explored this question in a working paper by using historical data on cost and deployment trends for numerous climate technologies to generate projections of future energy costs and deployment rates. Bioenergy and carbon capture and sequestration were explicitly constrained.

The Prime Minister's Ten Point Plan, published last November, is big on rhetoric, promising much for new low carbon generation. Its most eye-catching pledge is the new target for the installation of offshore wind. The PM doesn't provide any answers to, or even ask, the central question: how is the target going to be achieved?

We must optimise the use of the seabed for wind power in a way that supports the economy and is sensitive to our precious marine environment, writes The Crown Estate's Huub den Rooijen. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it's that risks that seem distant and remote can materialise in real life with devastating consequences.
