Following on from the government’s planned reforms to lower electricity costs and accelerate grid connections for UK industry, Rosa Rotko explores what these changes mean in a guest blog for Energy Live News. In the piece, Rosa also explains why many organisations are already taking proactive steps to increase on-site generation and storage to minimise energy costs. She says that understanding your energy demand profile and local grid availability is becoming essential for future planning and resilience. What are your thoughts on the reforms?

The global waste crisis is escalating—106.4 million tonnes of non-recyclable waste in the UK alone, emitting 19 megatonnes of GHG annually. At Standard Gas, we see waste as a resource. Our SG100 technology at Scottow Enterprise Park in Norfolk converts non-recyclable waste into clean syngas for energy and waste-derived biochar for carbon sequestration, offering a carbon-negative alternative to landfill and incineration. The waste-to-energy sector is poised for growth, driven by policies like the UN’s SDG 11 and rising demand for circular economy solutions. By producing affordable, scalable biochar, we’re not just managing waste—we’re creating value for agriculture, construction, and beyond. What trends are you seeing in waste-to-energy? Let’s start a conversation! #WasteToEnergy #CircularEconomy #SG100 #Sustainability #innovation #technology #climate Find out more at www.standardgas.com

The publication of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero's Clean Flexibility Roadmap last week, which details how the UK will deliver up to 66GW of clean flexible capacity by 2030, was an important milestone in the journey to clean #power in the UK. And in the roadmap, our innovative long duration energy storage (LDES) solution was highlighted as a key enabler of grid #flexibility, as well as its ability to store excess #renewable energy. It also emphasised the critical role of LDES solutions, like our liquid air technology, in managing peaks and troughs in demand and reducing reliance on fossil fuel power plants. As we progress our first grid-scale facility at Carrington and look ahead to the delivery of four further plants across the UK, we are proud to be contributing to the government's vision of clean power by 2030 and net zero by 2050. 🤝🏻 Ofgem | National Energy System Operator https://lnkd.in/gad-5k2Y

Exploring the Future of Clean Energy in North Yorkshire 🔬 🌍 The Knapton H2 Storage consortium has secured ‘discovery’ funding from Ofgem's Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) to explore the potential for underground hydrogen storage near the Knapton power plant. Led by Northern Gas Networks, and partnered with Centrica Energy Storage +, British Geological Survey (BGS), Third Energy Onshore and the The University of Edinburgh, this study will assess the region’s geological suitability for large-scale hydrogen storage. This is a critical step in decarbonising gas-fired peaking plants and strengthening the UK’s energy resilience. Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eHtCP6pG
