One route to meeting -80% CO2for the UK Cost optimal decarbonisation pathway -power now, heat next, transport gradual Implications: Major interventions in the power sector needed immediately (renewables, nuclear...); decarbonised by 2040 Big transition in the heat sector after 2020 from gas to electric, district heating or hydrogen; decarbonised by 2050 High reliance on negative emissions technologies to deliver lowest-cost pathways Transport is the largest CO2emitter in 2050 New technologies and innovation needed Cost optimal decarbonisation pathway -power now, heat next, transport gradual Source ETI
