《2008年气候变化法》规定，到2050年，英国将减少至少80%的温室气体排放。虽然有大量关于未来能源系统和技术的报告和研究，但对于如何实现这些目标以及这样一个能源系统可能是什么样的，并没有一个明确和现实的总体图景。这份报告由皇家工程院院士工作组编写，考虑了可能实现2050年减排目标的能源方案。该研究表明：没有单一的“银弹”，将实现所需的80%的温室气体排放量削减。英国整个能源系统的根本性重组将是不可避免的。- 通过提高效率和改变行为相结合，在所有经济部门减少需求将是至关重要的。- 将需要已经可用（或被确定为可靠）的全套低碳能源供应技术，包括以平衡方式结合的核能、可再生能源和碳捕获和储存。- 工程挑战的规模是巨大的。
The Climate Change Act 2008 committed the UK to at least 80% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. While there is a wealth of reports and studies on future energy systems and technologies, there is no clear and realistic overall picture of how these targets might be achieved and what such an energy system might look like. This report, produced by a working group of Fellows of The Royal Academy of Engineering, considered possible energy scenarios that could meet the 2050 emissions reduction target. The study showed that: There is no single ‘silver bullet’ that will achieve the required 80% cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Fundamental restructuring of the whole of the UK’s energy system will be unavoidable. - Demand reductions across all sectors of the economy will be essential through a combination of increased efficiencies and behavioural change. - The full suite of low-carbon energy supply technologies already available (or identified as credible) will be needed, including nuclear, renewables and carbon capture and storage brought together in a balanced way. - The scale of the engineering challenge is massive.
