An analysis from a team at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment finds that the U.K. could effectively eliminate the need for Russian gas imports in 2023 and oil imports by 2024 if it takes the net zero measures recommended by the Climate Change Committee's 6th carbon budget.

The off-grid energy sector in East Africa is vital to the region's sustainable development and needs urgent government support to help it recover from the pandemic, according to a new policy brief from researchers at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford. The brief also details how interventions within the sector could help accelerate progress in tackling societal problems such as poverty, inequality and unemployment. Without action, 30 million people in Sub Saharan Africa risk losing access to electricity.

A new study published in Nature Energy found that without substantial levels of energy demand reduction the UK will be unable to achieve net-zero by 2050.
