Críticas:
"A very significant book indeed - it ought to have a major impact." – Andy Gouldson, University of Leeds, and Director, ESRC Centre for Climate Change Economics & Policy
"Relevant, reliable, rigorous, robust - this book examines the debate on the prospects for a low carbon, energy secure economy and society from every angle. It points us in the right direction and it gives us grounds for optimism - technologically, economically, politically - that we can indeed make the transition. This is a very significant book indeed - it ought to have a major impact." – Andy Gouldson, Professor of Sustainability Research the School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds and Director, ESRC Centre for Climate Change Economics & Policy
"The issues tackled in Energy 2050 are crucial for the UK and other countries to address and I welcome this publication as an important contribution to the energy security and climate change debate. The collaborative approach taken by UKERC has brought together researchers from a range of disciplines and with different perspectives to try and answer some of the key energy policy issues facing the UK." – Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director, International Energy Agency
"The authors should be commended in presenting the challenges and opportunities of energy transformations in this very informative and fascinating collaborative book." – Nebojsa Nakicenovic, Deputy Director, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Vienna University of Technology, and Director, Global Energy Assessment (GEA)
"This book neither offers nor advocates a single pathway to 2050 - by explaining the factors that will shape our future UK energy system and the interaction between them, it invites an informed assessment of our options and should enable better decision making in the face of uncertainty." – Tom Delay, CEO, the Carbon Trust
"After a decade or more of previous studies, this important book now provides the authoritative analysis of pathways to a sustainable energy future for the UK. Using new modelling results to investigate the balance between economic, environmental and security objectives, it makes a strong case for urgent and sustained policy intervention." – Nick Hartley, Senior Advisor, Oxera
"The coherent, cohesive, and comprehensive structure of the book distinguishes it from many other collaborative works in the field." – Patrick Reynaud, Senior Manager, Centre for International Sustainable Development Law

The United Kingdom is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by at least eighty per cent by 2050, a target that will only be achieved by transforming the way that energy is supplied and used. At the same time there are anxieties about the security of energy provision in terms of European dependency on natural gas and the reliability of electricity supply. This book explores in detail those factors which could help or hinder the attainment of the UK's climate change targets, and how these factors interact with the parallel objective of maintaining a robust and secure energy system. The book is the result of a major national energy research effort by the UK Energy Research Centre, which includes some of the UK's leading energy experts. The results and recommendations are essential reading for policymakers, professionals, researchers, and anyone concerned with achieving large-scale reductions in carbon emissions, both from the UK and internationally.
Energy 2050 begins by exploring the evolution of the UK energy system over recent decades: the trends, technologies and environmental impacts related to energy use, and the structures and institutions of governance that have influenced this evolution. It then moves on to changes in energy policy to emphasise decarbonization and resilience, and introduce the approach to scenarios and modelling used in the rest of the book. Later chapters explore different aspects of the uncertainties that may enable or constrain the creation of a low-carbon, resilient UK energy system, related to accelerated technology development, the creation of an infrastructure to support de-centralized energy and microgeneration, to lifestyle and behaviour change, and to public attitudes to wider environmental impacts associated with energy system change.
