​Energy UK has added its voice to those calling for energy to be at the centre of a green recovery from COVID-19.

​International consultancy McKinsey has said that renewable energy is a pivotal part of meeting the 1.5 degree climate limitations, but drastic change is needed to expand in time.

A collection of oil and gas majors are to launch a carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) “anchor project” as part of Net Zero Teesside.

​​The “deep pockets” of the oil and gas (O&G) industry could be crucial in accelerating the deployment of renewables, the IEA has said in a new report.

​The political debate over a net zero date risks “distracting attention” from the actions the next government will take, the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) has said.

​The UK could achieve net zero with proven technology, eliminating the need for carbon capture and storage (CCS), a new report suggests.

The Labour Party has unveiled a report on the fastest pathway to decarbonising by 2030, which would require a ‘vast expansion’ of renewables and result in a net benefit of £800 billion.

​Secretary of state for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Andrea Leadsom, spoke to the BEIS Committee on the 15 October, highlighting that the departments “number one priority” is meeting the UK's net zero goal.

Plug policy shortfall or risk falling short of hitting net zero targets, the Science and Technology select committee has warned the government.
