To meet our 2050 ambitions, we need to focus on delivery in the next decade and we welcome the findings from the independent review of net zero, which reaffirms the UK’s climate commitments.
At SGN, we are committed to playing our role in delivering net zero, and transitioning the grid to support the delivery of a hydrogen economy. With 23 million households currently using gas across the country, we’re going to need every available technology to achieve net zero. That means hydrogen, heat networks, heat pumps and biomethane.
As we move towards a net zero future, the resilience of our energy system has never been more important. Net zero and energy security go hand in hand and we believe green technologies, such as hydrogen, will play a leading role in delivering a resilient energy system. We therefore welcome the review’s recommendation for a 10-year delivery roadmap for the scaling up of hydrogen production, which could help to reduce our dependence on global energy markets by utilising the UK’s rich renewable resources.
This is the decade that we can turbocharge our journey to net zero. At SGN, we’re fully committed to enabling that transition and we look forward to supporting the UK Government in delivering the review’s recommendations.
