Clean growth and Smart City technology
Electricity generation in the UK was the greenest on record in 2020, according to the National Grid Electricity Systems Operator (ESO). The average carbon intensity over the year fell to 181g of CO₂ per kilowatt hour (gCO₂/kWh), a reduction of 66% over the last seven years.
Electric vehicles
The British automotive industry is a vital part of the UK economy. It is worth more than £82 billion in turnover and adds £18.6 billion value to the UK economy. However, with cars and vans accounting for almost a fifth of emissions, the UK is taking decisive action to end the sale of new fossil fuel-operated cars and vans by 2030.
