During the past several years, great strides have been made in improving the UKs energy efficiency ratings. This is only the beginning of a long-term commitment for achieving a low carbon economy. The nations gas and energy sectors are obligated to advance their efforts in the area of reducing greenhouse gas emissions while, at the same time, limiting the burdens placed on consumers.
Gas and electricity projects related to energy conservation and lower greenhouse gas emissions must meet Government requirements year after year. Power stations combined with industries and residences contribute 66% of the UKs carbon dioxide emissions. Programs piloted by the gas and electricity sectors in 2006 and 2007 resulted in an emissions decrease of 4%. These programs concentrated on coal to gas conversion and sustainable energy solutions projects.
