The Energy Systems Catapult has published a new report ‘What does a Net-Zero emissions future look like in 2050 for the average UK household?

It explores what it means to cut carbon by 80%, >90% and 100% (Net-Zero) across six activities: heating, transport, electricity, aviation, diet and waste and presents a compelling picture of how a typical household’s life would actually change on a day-to-day basis. It concludes that low carbon heating biggest household challenge for ‘net zero’.
