UK energy systems for zero-carbon in 2050Roulstone, TonyCosgrove, PaulNuclear Future
The committee on climate change has urged ministers to set a new legal target for eliminating almost all greenhouse gas emissions - and offsetting the unavoidable pollution by planting trees or using other technology to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The "net zero" target would mean wh...
No studies modelling embodied carbon by 2050 to deliver domestic properties in the UK have been previously done. If, as described in the Climate Change Committee’s “The Sixth Carbon Budget” (CCC, 2020), the Government’s goal is to achieve near-zero emissions for all cement production by...
The net zero target was recommended by the Committee on Climate Change, Britain's independent climate advisory body. It means any emissions would be balanced by schemes to offset an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, such as planting trees or using technology like carbon ca...

Government ministers had previously set a target of 2040 for the UK to become fully electric – something they said was necessary for the country to achieve its target of emitting virtually zero carbon by 2050. The timeline later moved up to 2035, and then to 2030. ...

Britain has said it is committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050, and finance minister Rishi Sunak told companies this week to set out plans by 2023 for a transition to a low-carbon economy. Mark Whitworth, CEO of Liverpool-headquartered Peel Ports, which handles close to 70 million ...
BP and National Grid have previously pledged to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, mirroring the UK government's target. Britain's energy sector pivoted further towards cleaner fuels on Thursday, as the nation targets net zero carbon emissions to help tackle climate change. ...
Canada, the UK and Norway have all set ambitious targets. The UK and Canada pledged to reduce their territorial emissions to net zero by 2050. Norway wants to be carbon neutral by 2030. The “net” zero means that if they can’t eliminate all emissions completely, they can make up for ...
