Britain must use a wide range of low carbon energy technologies to improve its energy efficiency, it has been claimed.

According to Professor Paul Elkins of Kings College London, advances such as efficient vehicles, gas-propelled substitution and carbon capturing will be needed in large amounts to reduce the countrys carbon emissions.

Speaking at a Royal Society meeting entitled Towards a Low Carbon Energy Future, he said: “Theres a whole range of technologies that could reduce carbon emissions… very significant quantities of these technologies are required.”

He added: “The optimistic hope is that weve got large quantities of improvements in energy efficiency that we can take up at middle or low cost.”

A Press Association report last week claimed that Conservative Party leader David Cameron is to set out plans to make the UK a global champion in green technology.

The report suggested that proposals will include new state investment in eco-friendly advances, a new low carbon index of green firms and tax breaks on their shares.

Rapid Electronics are a leading UK supplier of electronic components, electrical products and industrial equipment to the Electrical Contractors sector.
