BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:

Lead research organisation: UK CENTRE FOR ECOLOGY & HYDROLOGY
The project aims to improve the understanding of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK and evaluate the effectiveness of emissions reduction policies, which directly addresses the question.
This proposal is for a mobile integrated greenhouse gas assessment system (MIGGAS), to locate and isotopically identify greenhouse gas sources, and calculate emission fluxes. MIGGAS will be capable of deployment either o...

Lead research organisation: Royal Holloway University of London
The project focuses on quantifying greenhouse gas emissions, including methane, and identifying emission sources, which directly addresses the question.
With the ratification of the Paris Agreement, the world has committed to avoiding dangerous climate change, which will involve rapid reduction in emissions while developing carbon sinks. Governments across the world incl...

Lead research organisation: University of Edinburgh
The project aims to improve the spatial granularity of greenhouse gas estimates and quantify different natural and man-made sources, which partially addresses the question.
