EP.27 Dan Monzani, Director of Energy Security, Networks & Markets at BEIS
This week, Aurora’s CEO John Feddersen speaks with Dan Monzani, Director of Energy Security, Networks & Markets at BEIS, about the UK Government’s long-awaited Energy White Paper: Powering our Net Zero Future, published this week.
The Energy White Paper follows Boris Johnson’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, and establishes a strategy to achieve Net Zero across the wider energy system.
John and Dan discuss:
* Market design and carbon pricing: why a trading scheme rather than a tax?
* Governance: what problems can the independent system operator (ISO) solve?
* R&D and technology innovation: what are the potential roles for CCUS and hydrogen? and also:
* Should we worry about buying a new internal combustion engine (ICE) car now?
