4. 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
