Britain’s gas networks have published their innovation strategy for the next two years, outlining how the sector will support an equitable transition to a low carbon energy system with resilience at its heart.
Industry leaders write to Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, urging the Government to unlock biomethane’s full potential, outlining how this homegrown, low-carbon energy source can strengthen UK energy security, cut bills, and drive rural growth.
Alongside GMB, Hydrogen Energy Association and the Green Gas Taskforce, FEN has signed a letter urging the Government to be bold in its refreshed Hydrogen Strategy. With the right ambition, hydrogen can drive growth, energy security and Net Zero across every region. This requires a strategy which is realistic but also flexible and pragmatic in its application, with cost reduction as its central aim.
FEN has commissioned Oxera to examine the role of carbon reduction as a result of industrial offshoring in the UK’s transition to Net Zero. This study aims to contribute to the evidence base informing the policy debate on decarbonisation via industrial offshoring and its implications for the UK’s climate strategy.
Future Energy Networks (FEN), the representative organisation for UK gas networks, has marked its first birthday by announcing that five networks with operations in Northern Ireland have become associate members.
A report entitled ‘Accelerating Progress Towards 2030s Carbon Budget’ was published today by Future Energy Networks, the membership organisation representing the GB gas networks. It outlines what the gas networks are currently doing to support decarbonisation and importantly highlights realistic and deliverable measures which could help cut the carbon budget deficit in buildings and industry by a quarter in 2035.
Following the news last year that the gas networks will be leaving the Energy Networks Association (ENA) at the end of 2024, we announce Future Energy Networks (FEN).
