With the UK and US aiming to reach net zero by 2050, using electricity that comes from renewable sources is essential to help reduce our carbon emissions. Find about the different types of renewable energy sources we currently use for electricity.

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.

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.

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.

Many companies, including National Grid, are seeking to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. When it comes to reporting progress, you’ll often see the terminology ‘Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions’ used.

You might be aware that we use helicopters to carry out inspection work on our overhead power lines network across England and Wales, but did you know we also have a fleet of drones and a dedicated team to operate them?

Cable Engineering Manager Caroline tells us about her work on North Sea Link – the world’s longest subsea cable – plus the importance of diversity within the energy industry and why it’s an exciting time to join the ‘green collar’ workforce.

We've announced a joint project with the Town of Hempstead to build one of the first and largest clean hydrogen projects in the US. The HyGrid Project will aid in decarbonising networks by blending green hydrogen into the existing distribution system.
