In recent years, ESG focus and the drive for net carbon zero have illuminated markets. This sparked sustainability rules and investor shifts, affecting asset value nationwide.
To meet the UK’s net zero target and scale up the rollout of low carbon heating solutions, such as heat pumps, a strong, collaborative partnership between Government and industry is essential.
Despite the UK government painting a positive picture of emissions cuts in its recent ‘Powering Up Britain’ report, it is set to miss its 2030 net zero targets.
Robert Austin, Sector Lead for UK Power Networks Services, discusses the challenges of zero-emission fleets, including balancing a resilient energy supply, meeting capacity requirements and sustainability pressures.
Technological expertise and solutions for climate target response is already here, but to unlock the hidden potential in industries and cities, we need clear priority setting by politics, orchestrated deployment, and significant public funding (CAPEX and OPEX) backed by an eased regulatory framework.
Businesses are to receive a large sum of funding from the government to transition to cleaner alternatives in their industries in pursuit of reducing UK carbon emissions.
As governments worldwide pursue carbon neutrality, the public sector's push for electric vehicles and emission reduction reflects their commitment to environmental responsibility.
Electricity network operators are capable of leading the Net Zero renewable energy transition – but only if they utilise technology to facilitate the process.
In line with the UK’s plans to reduce carbon emissions and transition to a circular economy, the recently created Net Zero Council aims to develop greener practices.
Csilla Heim at Easee looks at the accessibility of EVs, explaining that net zero is in sight, but only with accessible charging infrastructure for all.
