In the UK, green energy currently only makes up about 20% of all power used.
In comparison to other countries, the UK still has some improvements to be made. Fortunately, the UK green energy goals are to achieve 100% renewably sourced power by 2035.
The Climate Change Act 2008 creates the outline of the UK’s approach to tackling climate change. The act was established to help mitigate the impact of climate change, the steps in place are to be followed by the UK Government. The Climate Change Act is a legally binding agreement that must be met by the leaders of the UK.
Unsurprisingly, investments in renewable energy are paving the way for this agreement. The UK has set a target of 40 GW of offshore wind capacity, 12 GW of onshore wind, and 14 GW of solar. As well as solar and wind, the UK aims to have 5 GW of low to zero-carbon hydrogen production by 2030.
