Highlighting the role of hydrogen in decarbonising the UK this party conference season
The UK has a target to be net zero by 2050. That means reducing harmful CO2 emissions by 100%. Those emissions come from burning fossil fuels like coal, diesel and fossil gas – to power our industries, run our cars and lorries and heat our homes and businesses. We have to find new ways – greener ways – to do these things.

Nuclear Power: The Role of Government

In 2006, Prime Minister Tony Blair assured Britain that nuclear was “back on the agenda with a vengeance”. Boris Johnson has described his commitment to deliver nuclear at “warp speed”, and the three intervening Prime Ministers have also emphasised their support for nuclear. Yet Britain’s first new nuclear plant – Hinkley Point C (HPC) – is still some years from operation and, despite recent progress at Sizewell C, there is no confirmed successor project. Academics from The University of Manchester’s Dalton Nuclear Institute, Adrian Bull and Will Bodel, examine the gap between intention and reality and highlight policy recommendations from a new paper by the Dalton Nuclear Policy Group.

Our new Prime Minister must get gambling reform right
Within a matter of days, we will have a new PM and a new Government. Any celebrations will be short lived. Because whoever wins the keys to Number 10 will face a tsunami of trouble. A mounting cost-of-living crisis, inflation and energy bills soaring to stratospheric levels, war in Europe and a recession just around the corner. With that in their in-tray on Day One, it’s fair to say reforms to gambling will be pretty low on the Government’s agenda.
