All Policy, Practice and Research

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

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

"more attention needs giving to a consumer-centric, collaborative, multi-vector, more secure, whole energy system approach"

IGEM responds to Ofgem’s Draft Determinations for NESO’s third Business Plan.

Developed collaboratively with the UK’s professional engineering institutions, the National Engineering Policy Centre has set out its key priorities for the 2021 Spending Review in its new document Six engineering ambitions for the UK Spending Review. This presents six core policy recommendations to the government across several core policy areas: net zero, infrastructure, education and skills, and innovation.

This IGEM policy brief outlines key policy asks for the new Labour government, urging support for a comprehensive energy system integration, biomethane growth, net zero workforce development and more.

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 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 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.

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.
