Our Insights

Working with Baringa and the Green Gas Taskforce, this report looks at new evidence on how biomethane’s could benefit the UK economy and the opportunity is hard to ignore.

This Cadent-sponsored report by Stonehaven outlines the challenges facing the UK Government as it looks to increase its AI capacity. It details key considerations for the Government, including why barriers to scaling biomethane production should be removed to enable green gas to play its role in the delivery of AI infrastructure

This peer-reviewed report produced by Stonehaven and supported by Cadent details the opportunities on how hybrid heat pumps can secure the pathway for decarbonisation.

This report produced in collaboration with the Green Gas Taskforce and Guidehouse examines the role of biomethane-fuelled hybrid heating systems in addressing the significant challenge of heat decarbonisation in Great Britian.

The document outlines the role that biomethane will play in bolstering UK energy resilience, while helping deliver decarbonisation. It outlines some thoughts on what is needed to enable the biomethane sector to grow and thrive.

This report produced by Baringa in collaboration with the Green Gas Taskforce, examines reducing the cost of net zero with biomethane. It looks into the important role that biomethane will play in the energy transition.

Cadent's response to the findings of the Savanta research that explores consumer views on the potential technological options and changes that lie ahead for domestic heating on the path to net zero.

This report examines how European gas networks are advancing decarbonisation through hydrogen, biomethane, hybrid heating and digital innovation - offering key lessons for the UK.

This report is an analysis of hard-to electrify homes in the UK, demonstrating the role that hydrogen can play in decarbonising domestic heat economically and practically. 

This report examines the crucial role that the gas network will play on the path towards achieving net zero. It explores how we will operate and maintain an efficient, safe, and reliable gas network now and into the future.

This document looks at the technical, economic and consumer challenges around the decarbonisation of heat, and outlines the key steps needed to move to low carbon heat solutions.

This report details how the energy policies currently being considered to achieve net zero might be paid for. It explores in some detail the impact of a range of different options for recovering policy costs and illustrates how they could evolve over time as the use of energy changes.

This piece of qualitative research, carried out by Savanta, looks at the public’s view of the technological options that could be used in the future for domestic heating.   The research looks at understanding the implications of any natural gas boiler ban, to what extent consumers believed any such a ban would affect their lives, and the degree to which they feel different audiences should be involved in decision-making.

This report examines the myths surrounding how much wind is likely to be required to make green hydrogen for domestic heating.

This Sankey diagram demonstrates the details of how much wind is needed to create green hydrogen for domestic heating.

This report examines the opportunity that hybrid heating systems offer when it comes to decarbonising domestic heating.  It describes the potential carbon savings that can be made by adopting this technology and touches on how Europe is already making advances in their roll out.

This report sets out our initial views on the priorities for the regulatory framework needed to deliver net zero.

This report by PwC that looks at the economic impact that the hydrogen economy could bring to the regions of the UK, now and in the future, analysing and comparing different pathways.

This report by researchers at Cranfield University explores consumer attitudes towards domestic cooking and heating technologies, as well as energy appliances of the future, and looks at the potential role for hydrogen hobs and boilers to be used in UK homes.

This is an executive summary of Joel Gordon’s PhD undertaken at Cranfield University. This report set out a summary of the PhD findings that examined the social science research on hydrogen acceptance.

This map details the regionalised economic uplift that the hydrogen economy could have on the UK.

This report by researchers at Cranfield University gauges public perceptions of blue and green hydrogen’s potential future use and asks if a twin-track approach is compatible with overall hydrogen acceptance.

Analysis and research from the team at Imperial College London exploring the role and value that hydrogen could play in the UK’s future energy mix.

A report by Stonehaven that looks at whether the UK has the right regulatory and broader institutional framework to deliver net zero.

A report by Verve that looks at attitudes towards sustainability and explores to what extent, and why, are consumers change-resistant towards Net Zero in the UK, and how does this compare to Europe?

This report examines the growing gap in the carbon budgets caused by the slow delivery of decarbonisation efforts in domestic dwellings. It also sets out ten policy recommendations and asks of Government and Ofgem.

Cadent’s response to Imperial College’s report that summarises the key findings and outlines some recommendations on what decisions should be made about new energy infrastructure.
