Overview
The UK is committed by statute to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. This will require an ongoing annual reduction of domestic emissions by at least 3%. Whilst the country has met its targets to date, future progress is in doubt from 2023 onwards. With concerns about changes to the policy and regulatory environment, a skills shortage within the industry and challenges to long-term investment, is the UK energy industry really fit to face the future?
