Victoria Mustard, decarbonisation strategy lead at Xoserve, the Central Data Services Provider (CDSP) for the gas industry, explains how the UK can future-proof its energy system.

In the last 12 months, green energy has made huge strides in production levels.
In May, the UK generated 1 trillion kWh of electricity from renewable sources, enough to power homes for 12 years. With renewable electricity making such significant progress, what role will low carbon gas have to play in supporting net-zero?
