Our Energy Future

Read our comprehensive guides outlining the renewable energy sources and technologies that will shape our energy future.

Green Economy

From solar power to green ammonia, explore the clean energy technologies available in the market today. 

Biofuels are a renewable energy source offering a low carbon alternative to fossil fuels. Here, we explore the role of biofuels in the clean energy transition away from traditional oil and gas.

Green ammonia is a diverse gas with applications to agriculture and renewable energy production. Here, we take a deep dive into the world of green ammonia, uncovering its potential for a clean energy future and the barriers it currently faces.

Hydrogen is a clean fuel which has a variety of domestic and commercial applications and can be produced as a by-product of many other natural and clean energy sources. Here, we explore the landscape for hydrogen, including its role in a clean energy future and the current shape of the industry.

Geothermal energy is a sustainable energy source produced by tapping into the natural heat that exists within the Earth. It’s considered a reliable energy source given the heat generated within the Earth is constant. Here, we explore how geothermal energy can support a clean energy future.

Wind energy represented 15 per cent of Europe’s renewable energy supply in 2022, with capacity increasing further in recent years. Here, we analyse wind technology and its potential to support a clean energy future.

Solar power is one of the UK’s fastest growing clean energy sources, with one in every 20 buildings in the UK utilising solar technologies, equating to over 1.2 million rooftops. Here, we explore what solar power is, how it works, and how it will help the UK deliver a clean energy future.

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) uses mirrors and receivers to generate electricity from the sun. Here, we investigate how the technology works and what we can expect to see from it in the future.

Hydropower, known also as hydroelectric power, uses the natural flow of water to generate electricity. Here, we explore the landscape of hydropower in the UK, including how it works and how it could help the UK achieve net zero.
