As leaders in the UK biomass industry LC Energy Ltd. fully supports the government’s policy and direction in committing to Net Zero greenhouse gasses by 2050. Biomass is already a well-established energy resource in the UK and we need to drive change using biomass heat as a proven technology.
The UK already has a 2050 target – to reduce emissions by 80%. That was agreed by MPs under the Climate Change Act in 2008, but will now be amended to the new, much tougher, goal.
The actual terminology used by the government is “net zero” greenhouse gases by 2050.
That means emissions from homes, transport, farming and industry will have to be avoided completely or – in the most difficult examples – offset by planting trees or sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere.
