U.K. ENERGY WHITE PAPER –
NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR RENEWABLES AND HYDROGEN

Key commitments by the UK government in its February 2003 Energy White Paper include –

• Endorsement of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution’s call for 60% reductions in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050;

• An “ambition” to achieve 20% of energy production from renewable sources by 2020;

• The establishment of Fuel Cells UK – an industry network on hydrogen; and

• A pledge to publish a “roadmap” assessing the possible transition to a hydrogen economy.

Cambrensis has recently launched a Renewables and Hydrogen Contact Group in the U.K. in order to be able to convene informal events and briefings and to bring together key people in these areas.
