As part of the Net Zero Carbon Review, recently BEIS Secretary of State announced that an independent review has been commissioned of the government’s approach to delivering its net zero target.

The government stated the review will consider how its approach to net zero can deliver economic growth and investment, and provide energy security and affordability to consumers, while minimising costs faced by businesses and consumers.

In the terms of reference, it states the commitment to become net zero by 2050 remains in place but that the changed economic outlook has led to the review.

It will consider how the government can:

> Deliver maximum economic growth and investment, driving opportunities for private investment, jobs, innovation, exports, and growth right across the UK.
> Support UK energy security and affordability for consumers and business and the need to rapidly increase and strengthen UK energy production and supply.
> Minimise costs borne by businesses and consumers, particularly in the short-term.

During the review, the appointed chair, Chris Skidmore MP, is expected to consider a range of evidence and consult with a diverse range of stakeholders.

A resulting net zero carbon review report is scheduled for submission to the government by the end of December 2022.

Then on 29 September BEIS posted the call for evidence to engage in a range of themed roundtables with businesses, industry, communities, local government, and non-governmental groups.

In addition, it will be issuing a broad call for evidence, open to the public.
