The Oxford University-based Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS) has today launched its first major cross-theme report, based on existing research, called 'Shifting the focus: energy demand in a net-zero carbon UK.
The report proposes actions to strengthen and deliver the commitments in the government’s Clean Growth Strategy. It seeks to answer the question: “what is the role for energy demand change in the transition to an energy system consistent with a net-zero carbon UK?”
This report contains around 40 recommendations, some of which are very specific, but at a high-level it recommends:
- Prioritising energy demand solutions and recognising all of their benefits.
- Scaling-up policies that work now and investing in energy demand innovation in the long-term.
- That government acts now to develop effective institutions and policy.
