Voice and place: how to plan fair and successful paths to net zero emissions
The TUC supports a balanced energy policy which enables us to meet out net zero commitments. Key technologies focused on by unions in this report include Carbon Capture Storage and Use (CCSU), which was highlighted by trade unions in the Northern and the Yorkshire and Humber regions as being key to a just transition in their areas. Nuclear energy was highlighted in the North West and is an integral part of a net zero carbon energy policy. Trade unions call for a net zero roadmap that embeds a fully integrated, whole systems approach, including nuclear energy at scale, with direct government investment in order to create high quality employment.
