ERP Report shows next 10 yrs critical

ERP Report shows next 10 yrs critical

The report, “Innovation Milestones to 2050”, identifies a pressing need for investment in energy technologies with the greatest potential, such as CCS, increasing the chances of early deployment.

The Energy Research Partnership (ERP) is a high level forum co-chaired by David Mackay, DECC’s Chief Scientific Advisor and Nick Winser, Executive Director of the National Grid.

It brings together key players from industry, government and other organisation to advise on the strategic direction of UK energy research, development and demonstration to increase the level of investment in innovation and commercialisation.

The report says that in the move to meet climate change 2050 targets, the UK can risk locking the energy system and the public into an undesirable future if the long-term whole energy system is not considered when making choices.

It shows that the next 10 years is critical, with key technologies needing demonstration before making policy and investment decisions that will affect where our energy comes from and how we use it.
