Tyndall report outlines UK route to reduced carbon emissions

A new report by Friends of the Earth and The Co-operative Bank (based on research carried out by The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research) is the UK’s first comprehensive route-map to a low carbon economy.
The study shows the total amount of carbon dioxide the UK can emit between now and 2050.

The report describes how:

• Sufficient emissions reductions can be made by using technologies which are – or are close to - market ready.
• The UK needs to achieve significant emission cuts – of around 70 per cent - within the next 30 years and it is possible to do so.

By 2050 the research envisages a world where:

• People fill up their cars at multi fuel stations which provide a choice of electricity, biofuels or hydrogen
• Hydrogen fuel cells are routinely used to provide heat and power in homes
