1) UK battery storage market to remain strongest in Europe
An independent forecast has predicted that the UK will maintain a dominant position in the European battery storage market over the next decade, securing 35% of the total market by 2028.
2) CO2 levels in 2020 were ‘higher than any time in the last 3.6 million years’
A significant drop in total emissions last year was not enough to prevent 2020 seeing record levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
3) New study finds battery storage 30% cheaper than gas-fired generation for peak capacity
An Australian study has found that battery storage is significantly cheaper, as well as more effective, than natural gas-fired generation for meeting peak demand.
4) UK’s net zero transition will create up to 1.7 million jobs this decade
A leading think-tank has revealed that the UK’s net-zero transition will generate as many as 1.7 million new full-time jobs across energy efficiency, low-carbon heating, energy generation and manufacturing.
5) One fifth of top corporates have net zero commitments in place
One in five of the world’s 2,000 largest listed companies, representing nearly $14 trillion in sales, have committed to a net-zero emissions target.
6) Company bosses and investors split on importance of net zero transition
A global survey of executives found that a majority were concerned that the expected benefits of the transition to low carbon would not outweigh the costs, while 90% of investors felt an effective net-zero plan was a critically important driver of investment appeal.
