  Update on the Smarter Regulation initiative in the energy context

  Alongside the Autumn Statement and the Connections Action Plan and Transmission Acceleration Action Plan (on which we commented in a recent separate article), the Department of Business and Trade (the DBT) published a number of documents relating to its wide-ranging Smarter Regulation programme.  This follows the Government’s May 2023 introductory policy paper on Smarter Regulation to Grow the Economy and is stated to be complementary to the ongoing October 2023 call for evidence on the regulatory landscape, which also forms part of the Government’s work on Smarter Regulation.  ...

  Sustainable Infrastructure in the UAE – Top 8 before COP28 mini series

  Sustainable and energy efficient infrastructure is essential for achieving ambitious carbon neutrality goals on a global scale. In 2018, the buildings and construction sector accounted for 36% of final energy use and 39% of energy and process-related CO2 emissions.[1] The United Nations Environment Programme’s 2022 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction highlights that, although there has been an increase around the world in investment and resultant success at lowering the energy intensity of buildings, the energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the buildings and construction...

  COP28 Ahead: Carbon Capture, (Utilisation) and Storage

  With the continual global rise in carbon dioxide (“CO2”) emissions, options exploring the reduction and removal of CO2 are being explored by the global community. Carbon capture usage and storage (“CCUS”) technologies have become even more topical as COP28 approaches and attention focuses on global and national net zero CO2 targets.Carbon capture and storage (“CCS”) involves capturing, compressing and transporting CO2 emissions to a storage site where it is injected underground for permanent storage, whilst CCUS technology additionally...

  COP28 Ahead: Wave Energy - The Next Wave of Renewable Energy

  While solar and wind are the most prevalent renewable energy sources, other natural resources and occurrences can be harnessed to generate energy, such as the heat of the Earth and even the motion of the ocean. Waves have a higher energy density than other renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass or geothermal. However, only half a gigawatt (GW) of ocean power had been installed globally as of 2021. Despite this, the International Renewable Energy Agency predicts a global potential of 70 GW by 2030 and 350 GW by 2050.Generating power from waves is not a new concept. Many wave energy...
