The Practicalities of Developing Renewable Energy

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) welcomes the opportunity to comment on the practical steps that are needed to achieve a move towards renewable energy sources at the rate proposed in the recent White Paper. In response, we submit a report entitled Hydrogen - the fuel of the future  which was produced by the RSC based on one of the Fuelling the Future workshops held in January 2002. These workshops were part-sponsored by the Foresight programme of the Office of Science and Technology, within the Department of Trade and Industry to explore the future of energy supply in the UK.
