Britain has charted its green development plans, with priority given to clean coal technology CCS, marine renewables, nuclear energy, and green vehicles.
Extra green spending has been pledged in the 2009 budget, bringing in a total of additional 15 billion dollars in low-carbon and energy investment over the coming few years in the country.
Carbon capture and storage technology was given a big push to go ahead and four demonstration projects will be delivered. The decarbonising technology is expected to be applied commercially in a few years, to make the burning of fossil fuels much less polluting.
Britain’s green spending scheme came as the country faces an exacting and pressing task to ensure its energy security and at the same time meet its climate change goals.
