| Abstract | Since the Climate Change Act became law in November 2008 it is now the responsibility of the UK Government to ensure that by the year 2050 net emissions of greenhouse gasses are reduced by 80% of the 1990 levels. This target means a dramatic alteration in the way that the country generates, transmits, distributes and consumes energy. The research outlined in this paper aims at the development of models of the UK energy system. These models will be used to generate and study viable energy infrastructures that will allow a lower carbon future to be realised. |
