This report by Ember analyzes the impact of the UK government's Clean Power 2030 Action Plan on energy import reliance. It finds that while the plan significantly reduces gas imports for electricity generation, the wider UK economy remains vulnerable due to continued reliance on imported oil for transport and gas for domestic heating. The report argues that comprehensive electrification of heating and transport is necessary to fully stabilize energy bills and enhance national energy security.

This research paper analyzes mitigation scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report to evaluate the speed, trajectory, and feasibility of fossil fuel reduction pathways necessary to limit global warming to 2 °C or below.

This policy brief by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) advocates for a transition in India from fossil-fuel-based clean cooking, specifically liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), toward non-fossil alternatives. The authors propose a twin strategy: scaling biogas for rural areas and electric cooking (e-cooking) for urban and peri-urban households to reduce fiscal burdens, import dependency, and environmental impacts.
