IGEM has responded to the APPG on Apprenticeships' inquiry on how apprenticeships can support the Industrial Strategy, highlighting the need for a skills system that supports both new entrants and the upskilling of the existing workforce. Read our full response to explore how apprenticeships can help deliver the UK's clean energy ambitions.

IGEM has responded to the Government’s call for evidence on the future strategy for built environment professions, highlighting the importance of competence, professional accountability and lifelong learning in safety-critical engineering. Read our full response to see how IGEM believes these principles can help strengthen building safety and support the transition to net zero.

IGEM welcomes NESO’s recognition of biomethane’s vital role in the UK’s energy future. The report highlights major growth potential, but turning ambition into reality will require policy certainty, strategic planning and a clear framework to unlock investment.

IGEM has responded to DESNZ's call for evidence on flexible electrolytic hydrogen production, highlighting the vital role flexible electrolysers can play in supporting a resilient, low-carbon energy system. Our response outlines how policy and market reforms can unlock investment while maximising whole-system benefits across the electricity and hydrogen sectors.

IGEM responds to the Rural Services Network’s call for evidence on rural resilience and off-gas-grid heating, highlighting the need for a technology-neutral approach that supports affordable, practical and resilient pathways to net zero.

New IGEM commissioned research shows how a balanced energy transition could deliver net zero at lower cost and with greater resilience.

IGEM welcomes the opportunity to respond to the consultation on the future Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) methodology. We support the aim of creating a more accurate and meaningful metric for consumers and policymakers. However, we are concerned that several elements of the proposed Heating System Metric risk pre-determining outcomes in favour of specific technologies rather than reflecting the real emissions performance of homes. A technology-agnostic, evidence-based framework is essential to ensure consumers are supported to make practical, fair, and cost-effective choices during the transition to net zero.

IGEM welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s (DESNZ) consultation, Gas system in transition: security of supply, on behalf of our members. We support the Government’s recognition of the continuing importance of gas during the energy transition and its commitment to work with industry to ensure that energy security, resilience and infrastructure capacity is maintained through the 2030s and beyond.

IGEM welcomes this consultation and the government’s ambition to ensure that every building can transition to low-carbon heat, including hard-to-decarbonise properties. As an organisation representing gas engineering expertise across the UK and the rest of the world, we support a whole-systems approach that uses the strengths of multiple energy vectors and avoids prematurely narrowing the range of viable solutions.

This report sets out a bold and necessary vision for the future of engineering in the UK, recognising the vital role engineers and technicians will play in addressing the challenges of climate change, digital transformation, infrastructure renewal and social equity.

Response from the Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers (IGEM) to Stonehaven’s Powering Homes, Powering Growth report.

The new strategy sets out an ambitious, evidence-led roadmap to secure the skilled workforce needed for the UK’s energy, water, and waste sectors. With the UK poised for its largest infrastructure build-out in nearly a century, the strategy is clear: “Skills are not just a business priority, they are a national imperative.”

The Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM) welcomes the opportunity to respond to the DESNZ consultation on hydrogen blending into the GB gas transmission network.

IGEM welcomes the UK Government’s Industrial Strategy, the 2025 Spending Review and the 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy for their strong alignment on decarbonising Britain’s industrial future and our energy system - with particular recognition of the gas sector’s role in delivering net zero and a secure, low-carbon industrial future.

We welcome the opportunity to respond to this consultation and aim to represent the collective views of IGEM Members and our gas industry stakeholders.
