Gas not long term answer so set 2030 decarbonisation target urges Climate Change Committee

To address the situation, the Committee said government should use secondary legislation to “set a clear carbon objective to reduce carbon intensity of power generation to around 50g CO2/kWh by 2030, as recommended by the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee”.
