|
A transition to a low carbon energy system will require high levels of innovation both in technologies and in the governance of energy systems, which is likely to disrupt existing business models and incentives structures. Drawing on research from an EPSRC-funded project ‘Realising Transition Pathways: Whole systems analysis for a UK more electric low carbon energy future’, this session will examine the current and future impact of different forms of ownership on low carbon pathways for the UK electricity and wider energy system. |

Countries around the world are beginning the process of profoundly restructuring their energy systems to meet an interlinked set of policy goals; notably low carbon, secure and affordable energy supply. Decision makers across industry, government, and wider society needs to make key decisions in the light of this evolving landscape. |

In the face of mounting environmental, energy security and economic pressures there is a growing demand for alternative energy technologies and business models that can satisfy our energy needs in a cleaner, cheaper and more secure fashion. Whilst energy innovation is by no means a new process we still remain unclear about the best way to stimulate sustainable energy innovation. With increasingly little time to meet our 2050 carbon reduction target, dwindling domestic fossil fuel reserves and concerns that oil prices will soon rebound it is essential that the correct policy mechanisms are put in place today to ensure that the energy technologies and business models of tomorrow are commercially viable and enjoy wide-scale deployment. |
