Government updates proposed commercial frameworks for CCUS business models covering transport and storage, power sector arrangements and industrial carbon capture, setting out how commercial arrangements might support deployment and investment.
Economic analysis
Report provides catchment‑level source apportionment of nutrient pollution and estimates required diffuse sector reductions to meet protected area water quality targets, giving policymakers reductions by source and location to guide interventions.
Evidence review
Assessed costs and practicality of fitting acoustic pingers on under-12m static-net vessels to reduce harbour porpoise bycatch, using stakeholder engagement in the southwest and an adaptable economic modelling framework estimating pinger numbers and expected costs.
Feasibility study
Presents the final evaluation findings and survey data tables for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, assessing the scheme’s impacts on uptake, delivery and outcomes for low‑carbon heating adoption up to 2026.
Evaluation
Uses a discrete choice experiment to analyse how household willingness to pay for heat pumps responds to variations in upfront costs and running-cost scenarios, informing policy on financial incentives and uptake drivers.
SurveybyICF
A government‑commissioned report models UK steel demand to 2050 to inform the UK steel strategy, providing long‑run demand forecasts intended to guide industrial policy, investment and decarbonisation planning for the sector.
Economic analysis
Explores what support the public needs during the transition to low‑carbon heating, including when and how to engage households to improve adoption, confidence and access to measures and advice.
Mixed methodsbyVerian
Investigates which consumer ‘trigger points’—events or conditions—effectively prompt uptake of energy-efficiency measures and low‑carbon heating in homes, aiming to identify moments for targeted engagement and policy intervention.
Mixed methodsbyBasis SocialLondon Economics
Collects special feature articles from the September 2026 Energy Trends bulletin, analysing contemporary UK energy issues and providing statistical context and commentary for policymakers and sector analysts.
Final research reports published under the UK Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme, presenting findings from commissioned projects to inform environmental impacts and planning for offshore energy development around the UK.
Mixed methods
A 2024 update of the UK fixed space cooling market assesses market size, technologies, key players, routes to market and main drivers and barriers affecting adoption and investment.
Evidence review
A review synthesises social science research on public perceptions and social acceptance of carbon capture and storage, summarising concerns, drivers of support or opposition, and evidence on how communication, trust and local impacts shape acceptability.
Evidence review
High‑level scoping assessment identifying pollutant monitoring requirements linked to net zero technologies, surveying monitoring capabilities and gaps relevant to deployment and environmental compliance.
