Development of Pathways for Industrial Deep-Decarbonisation Technologies and Hydrogen and CCS Infrastructure ahead of the Sixth Carbon Budget

Descriptions

The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) was set up as part of the Climate Change Act. The CCC is an independent body tasked with providing advice to Government on climate change issues, and particularly the setting of carbon budgets, and the monitoring of progress towards meeting those budgets. The Committee provided advice on the fifth carbon budget (setting a limit on UK emissions in the period 2028-2032) in November 2015 and will be providing advice on the sixth carbon budget (2033-2037) in September 2020. This will be the first budget set since the Government legislated to change the greenhouse gas emissions target set out in the Climate Change Act from an 80% reduction relative to 1990 levels by 2050, to net zero emissions by 2050. The CCC's past reports are available here: http://www.theccc.org.uk/reports/. *** See Specification for more detail ***
