Moving towards net-zero carbon transport systems quickly requires both shifting to more sustainable travel modes and to decarbonised fuels. The amount of energy we use from transport could be reduced by 60% by 2050, by a combination of people becoming more ‘multi-modal’ and less car dependent.| CREDS
Delivering net-zero in industry will require a combination of improved material efficiency, energy efficiency improvement and new zero-carbon industrial processes. In the short term, materials efficiency has the greatest potential, with new processes contributing more towards 2050.| CREDS
There is a significant resource of untapped energy-saving opportunities in UK homes. Our estimates suggest a technical potential exceeding 50% and a cost-effective potential exceeding 25% by 2035. The majority of the long-term potential comes from moving to high-efficiency heating systems, rather than from insulation [1, 2].| CREDS
