Purpose The National Networks scenario enables a broadly net zero compliant pathway by 2050 with UK industrial residual emissions of 3 MtCO₂e. Hydrogen is favoured over electrification in most fuel switching cases owing to cost and contributes most to decarbonising emissions (18 MtCO₂e) followed by CCUS/BECCS (11 MtCO₂e) and electricity (5 MtCO₂e). The model assumes a carbon price, which is a key determinate affecting the speed of uptake because it affects the social cost effectiveness of each decarbonisation option. In practice, lots of other factors will determine the actual speed of decarbonisation such as market factors, technological innovation, demand changes, supply chain constraints and government policies.

Chair of the Business, Energy and lndustrial Strategy Minister of State for Energy, Clean I am writing to inform the Business, Energy and lndustrial Strategy Committee that the government has today launched a consultation on the design of the proposed climate compatibility checkpoint for future oil and gas licensing. This checkpoint was a key recommendation following a review into future oil and gas licensing and was announced together with the North Sea Transition Deal in March 2021. This consultation explores a wide range of different considerations that a checkpoint could be designed to taKe into account when assessing whether oil and gas licenses should continue to be offered. This includes potential tests incorporating data on sectoral emissions, net zero technology development, import-export balances, the global "production gap", and end-use emissions. The consultation will last until the 28th February 2022, after which we will consider all responses before making an announcement on the final checkpoint design. I have enclosed a copy of the consultation, and I will place a copy of this letter in the Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change
By 2020 primary energy consumption is to be 20% lower than in 2008, and 50% lower by 2050. This calls for an annual average gain in energy productivity of 2.1%, based on final energy consumption. Compared with 2008, we seek to cut electricity consumption by around 10% by 2020 and 25 % by 2050. The building renovation rate will need to double from the current figure of less than 1% a year to 2% of the total building stock. In the transport sector, final energy consump- tion is to fall by about 10% by 2020 and by about 40% by 2050, the baseline in this case being 2005.

This document sets the government's decarbonisation vision for the aviation sector in order to enable the country to meet its 2050 net zero target. It seeks to balance regional and international connectivity, economic benefits and a reduction of GHG emissions, and support sustainable airport growth. Intermediary targets and a five year delivery plan has been released as part of this strategy, in order to take urgent measures quickly. Progress will be monitored annually and through a five-year major review. The strategy focuses on technological solutions, and the six following measures: System efficiencies, Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), Zero emission flight (ZEF), Markets and removals, Influencing consumers, and addressing non-CO2 impacts and potential mitigation. It also asserts the UK's ambition to lead internationally on reaching an agreement on long-term aspirational goal for the CO2 emissions of international aviation that is aligned with the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. It commits the government to work with the Jet Zero Council and other entities to bring up new technologies and other remission-cutting solutions.&nbsp; It aims to improve operational efficiency, notably for airports, on the short term. The document seeks to support up to 5,200 UK jobs in the aerospace sector.&nbsp; The document further states that carbon markets will have a key role in delivering Jet Zero, and greenhouse gas removals (GGRs) are needed to address residual emissions. It says that the government will work with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to gather more evidence on providing consumers with environmental information at the time of booking a flight.
What are our objectives? Climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation are transforming the global economy. As countries, companies and individuals across the world respond to these challenges, finance and investment have a crucial role to play. The global transition to a net zero, resilient and nature positive economy will see trillions of pounds reallocated and invested in new projects, products and services. The UK's world-renowned finance sector can put us at the forefront of this transition. 2. The UK's COP26 Presidency in 2021 generated historic momentum in the numbers of businesses, regions and investors seeking to align with climate and environmental goals. Over 90% of global GDP is now covered by national net zero targets. In the financial services sector this was exemplified through the commitment of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), which unites over 550 members across the financial sector committed to align with a net zero future, spanning 50 countries and representing 40% of global private financial assets. Now is the time for the UK to build on that leadership.
The UK government announced GBP 40 million of funding to develop the next generation of nuclear energy technology, and create jobs in R&D and manufacturing. GBP 30 million will be going towards the development of three Advanced Modular Reactors (AMR) projects in Oxfordshire, Cheshire and Lancashire. AMRs are smaller than traditional nuclear plants and produce low-carbon electricity. Due to their size, they can be used at remote locations, and can produce enough energy to power anything from a small village to a medium-sized city. The remaining £10 million will be invested into unlocking smaller research, design, and manufacturing projects to create up to 200 jobs.
Offshore wind Our island's resources, with its shallow seabeds and high winds offers us unique advantages that have made us global leaders in offshore wind and pioneers of floating wind. With smarter planning we can maintain high environmental standards while increasing the pace of deployment by 25 per cent. Our ambition is to deliver up to 50GW by 2030, including up to 5GW of innovative floating wind. Our history of North Sea oil and gas expertise enables us rapidly to deploy our rich expertise in sub-sea technology and maximise our natural assets. Already, just off the coast of Aberdeenshire, we have built the world's first floating offshore wind farms. There will be huge benefits in the Irish and Celtic Sea. And by 2030 we will have more than enough wind capacity to power every home in Britain.

In February 2020, the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan of the Republic of Slovenia was adopted which lays down objectives, policies and measures in the field of buildings by 2030 (with a view to 2040). At the end of 2019, the Republic of Slovenia has started to prepare the Long-Term Climate Strategy, which provides the main guidelines and vision in individual sectors by 2050. The vision of both documents is approximately net-zero emissions in the buildings sector by 2050 by maintaining a high level of energy renovations of buildings, by converting the heating systems to centralised heating systems and RES technologies. The renovations and new constructions are directed towards achieving almost zero emissions in their life cycle and other construction and renovation objectives. Sustainable renovations of buildings will be encouraged, i.e. to renovate a building from other aspects as well (e.g. earthquakes, fire, radon). The NECP sets the objective of reducing the use of final energy in buildings by 20% by 2030 compared to 2005 and reducing the emissions by at least 70% in the same period.

Greenhouse gas emissions will continue to decrease. Denmark is ready to contribute to the EU's reduction target of at least 40 per cent by 2030 (compared with 1990 levels) by taking on an ambitious 2030 targets for reducing emissions outside the quota system. In October 2017 Denmark agreed to a reduction in non-ETS emissions in the period 2021-2030, rising to 39% by 2030 relative to 2005, when the flexible mechanisms of the Effort Sharing Regulation are taken into account. The final approval by the European Parliament is still pending. In 2018, the government will prepare a cost-effective strategy for meeting Denmark's reduction target in 2030. The Government will among other things include recommendations from the Danish Climate Council. The EU has a target of 27 per cent renewable energy by 2030. This target has already been met by Denmark. Denmark will go further than that. The Government will therefore pursue a target of at least 50 per cent of Denmark's energy needs to come from renewable sources by 2030.

1. The purpose of this Act is for Denmark to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 by 70% compared to the level of emissions in 1990, and for Denmark to achieve a climate-neutral society by 2050 at the latest, taking into account the Paris Agreement target of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The Directive on renewable energy (Directive 2009/28/EC), a part of the EU's climate and energy package, sets ambitious targets for all Member States, such that the EU will reach a 20% share of energy from renewable sources in the overall energy consumption by 2020 (with individual targets for each Member State) and a 10% share of renewable energy specifically in the transport sector, which includes biofuels, biogas, hydrogen and electricity from renewables.
Most businesses claim that energy efficiency is of high priority to them. However, smaller businesses are faced with a challenge to identify and/or implement adequate energy saving opportunities because they lack expert knowledge on the topic and / or due to high costs and lack of funding. It is important to note that electricity in Cyprus is expensive relative to the EU average, despite a relatively smaller proportion of taxes and VAT, which hampers business competitiveness. Component 2.1 Climate neutrality, energy efficiency and renewable energy penetration includes measures which contribute to Cyprus transition to climate neutrality, through the achievement of the national targets in energy efficiency and renewable energy for 2030. Specifically, the component aims to improve the environment policy through measures relating to green taxation, the opening-up of the electricity market and the facilitation of licensing of renewable energy and renovation projects. It aims to improve the energy efficiency of the building stock and other infrastructure, and support green investments in SMEs, housing, the wider public sector and Contribution of various components

In response to the global energy crisis, the UK government temporarily reduced rates of Fuel Duty for 12 months, from end March 2022.This includes cutting rates for diesel and unleaded and leaded petrol by GBP 0.05 per litre, with a proportionate percentage cut (equivalent to GBP 0.05 per litre from the main fuel duty rate of GBP 0.5795 per litre) in other lower rates and the rates for rebated fuels, where practical.
The Woodland Carbon Guarantee is an incentive scheme to help accelerate woodland planting rates across
England. These new woodlands will permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere. The guaranteed price for your CO2 is agreed with the government through an online reverse auction. In order to bid in the auction, the applicant need to calculate how much money will be needed(per tonne of CO2) to the planting project be viable and worthwhile. If the bid is successful in the auction, the government will buy the CO2 for the bid price.
