Horizon Scanning Report 2020-21

The international aspiration to reach net zero carbon in energy systems by 2050 is growing. In the UK, the government has set a target of ‘Net Zero’ Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 in order to reduce contribution to global warming.

Facing pressure to be fit for a net zero GHG future, energy networks in the UK, and across the globe, are undergoing modernisation and investment. In order to ensure this investment is effective, energy network integration is a high priority for the UK regulator OFGEM, and hence the work of the Supergen Energy Networks Hub is urgent and timely.

This report summarises key academic literature with regards integrated energy network modelling across multiple vectors. This review will enable the Supergen Energy Networks Hub to address gaps in the review, and thereby contribute to the sector.
