The UK government has set an ambitious target to achieve 95% carbon-free electricity by 2030, aiming to significantly reduce the nation’s carbon footprint. This goal involves a strategic shift towards renewable energy sources, with plans to increase offshore wind capacity to 50 gigawatts (GW) from the current 14 GW. Additionally, the UK plans to expand solar power to 70 GW, up from 14 GW, and aims to have 24 GW of nuclear power, which is a slight increase from the current 23 GW. The strategy also includes the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, with a target of capturing 20-30 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2030. This comprehensive approach not only focuses on increasing renewable energy production but also on enhancing energy efficiency and reducing overall energy demand.
