Explainers: Energy and climate change
Policy measures and technological solutions that can help reduce carbon emissions from energy generation and use. These Explainers have been produced jointly by us – the Grantham Research Institute at LSE, and the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London. The Explainers are hosted on both websites.
- How cost-effective is a renewables-dominated electricity system in comparison to one based on fossil fuels?
- How reliable is a renewables-dominated electricity system in comparison to one based on fossil fuels?
- What does more North Sea oil and gas mean for UK energy supply and net zero?
- What is deep-sea mining and how is it connected to the net zero transition?
- What opportunities and risks does AI present for climate action?
- How much do renewables contribute to the UK’s energy mix and what policies support their expansion?
- What is tidal stream energy?
- How does climate change impact on international trade?
- What are ‘critical minerals’ and what is their significance for climate change action?
- What technology do we need to cut carbon emissions?
