What needs to be done and what are the gaps?
Summary: This seminar will explore the feasibility of making the UK energy system fully renewable across electricity, transport, heat and industry. Much is achievable where there are political or regulatory barriers. However other segments present much more of a challenge. This seminar will explore both.
