Introduction: This project will examine the sources of carbon emissions in South Wales from the use of all energy vectors, (electricity, gas and oil) and seek to identify the opportunities for substantial cost effective reductions. The use of decarbonised gas and the reduction of industrial emissions are a particular focus.  

The aim is to produce a roadmap for achieving significant decarbonisation of the area and to identify the role of each energy vector.

The project will also aim to better understand the interaction of combined gas and electricity distribution networks with transmission networks as we move into a whole energy networks future.

Objectives: The aim is to produce a roadmap for achieving significant decarbonisation in South Wales recognising the opportunities for fuel substitution across electricity, gas and oil to achieve the 2050 carbon reductions.
