How much of the UK’s energy is renewable?
With the UK aiming to reach net zero by 2050, a crucial part of the strategy is to transition to an electricity system with 100% zero-carbon generation and much of this is expected to come from renewable energy. Renewable energy is already part of our electricity mix, but how much are we using currently and how much more will we need in order to reach net zero?

Carbon neutral vs net zero – understanding the difference
With buzzwords like net zero and carbon neutral making their way into our vocabulary, we’re becoming more informed about climate change and the steps needed to protect the environment.
What is liquefied natural gas (LNG)?
LNG is natural gas that's been reduced to a liquid state through cooling. It’s been part of the UK’s energy mix for many years, but could it be the fossil fuel that has yet to reach its true potential as we move towards low-carbon energy systems?
What is SF6? Sulphur hexafluoride explained
Sulphur hexafluoride – also known as SF6 – is a ‘greenhouse gas’ that has long played a part in global warming, similar to that of carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is carbon intensity?
You’ve probably heard the term ‘carbon intensity’ in relation to climate change and net zero. But what exactly does it refer to?
Why invest in National Grid?
National Grid is one of the world’s largest publicly listed utilities focused on transmission and distribution of electricity and gas. We play a vital role in connecting millions of people to the energy they use safely, reliably and efficiently.

Journey to net zero
6 months on from COP26: our progress towards a net zero future
To avoid the worst effects of climate change, the world needs to halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Since COP26, we’ve been working harder than ever to deliver a clean, fair and affordable energy future, with no one left behind.
Onshore vs offshore wind energy: what’s the difference?
The technology that onshore and offshore wind turbines use to generate electricity is essentially the same. Where the two differ is in their position, size, scale and how the electricity they generate is transferred.
What is carbon sequestration?
One of the many approaches being taken to tackle climate change is carbon sequestration – the practice of removing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it. Find out why and how this method is being used.
