The future of…

How are things changing to help us reach net zero? Find out what the future holds for each of these important aspects of the transition to clean energy.

The future of transport

Transport is the highest emitter of greenhouse gases in the UK. For the UK to deliver its net zero carbon emissions target by 2050 there will need to be huge changes to the transport we use.

The future of offshore energy

Wind power is an endlessly renewable source of energy, and creates no greenhouse gas emissions, making it an important part of our journey to net zero.

The future of heat

Heating is one of the biggest CO2 emitters across the world. To reduce our carbon emissions and tackle climate change, we need to change the ways we heat our homes and businesses.

The future of hydrogen

Hydrogen can be used to power vehicles, generate electricity, heat our homes and more. It could make a huge difference to our carbon emissions, and will be critical to achieving net zero.
