This briefing draws out the key messages from the UKERC Research Report 'The UK Energy System in 2050: Comparing Low-carbon Resilient Scenarios' – which describes and compares a series of model runs, implemented through the UK MARKAL modelling system. This has revealed some consistent patterns showing how the UK energy system might develop in future.
