Energy Industries and Technologies Unit 1 The Policy Context The Technology Programme within the innovation system The current R&D portfolio Looking to the future Contents
3
Energy Industries and Technologies Unit 2 Policy Goals To put ourselves on a path to cut the UK s carbon dioxide emissions by some 60% by about 2050, with real progress by 2020; To maintain the reliability of energy supplies (making sure the lights stay on); To promote competitive markets in the UK and beyond, helping to raise the rate of sustainable economic growth and to improve our productivity; and To ensure that every home is adequately and affordably heated.
4
Energy Industries and Technologies Unit 3 Multiple Drivers The business opportunity Emission reduction Renewables targets – 10% by 2010, 20% by 2020 Security of supply Playing our part in the global challenge: G8/Kyoto post 2012
5
Energy Industries and Technologies Unit 4 Key Questions for the Review 1.The Governments role in ensuring that the UKs long term goal of reducing carbon emissions is met 2.Developing our market framework for delivering reliable energy supplies 3.Considerations applying to nuclear 4.Considerations applying to carbon abatement and other low carbon technologies 5.Steps towards ensuring that every home is adequately and affordably heated The Government will review the UKs progress against the medium and long-term Energy White Paper goals and the options for further steps to achieve them. The aim will be to bring forward proposals on energy policy [this] year. Energy Review: terms of reference
