How will these resources help you?

The government has an obligation to meet net zero by 2050, and renewable energy is expected to play a central role in achieving this. Students are introduced to renewable techniques at KS3, if not before, but is net zero as realistic as it seems? These resources will help you assess the viability of moving away from fossil fuels and adopting large-scale renewable programmes. While books on the topic remain limited, those listed all have different takes on renewable energy, from its technical feasibility to the geopolitical tensions it creates. It is important that students can assess this future of renewables as part of the energy mix, particularly for GCSE units on Natural Resources and A-Level units on ‘Energy Security’ and ‘Energy Pathways’.
