Journey to net zero stories

We get lots of questions about the real threat climate change poses to our world. Here we debunk some of the most common incorrect, yet oft-repeated, climate change myths – to separate fact from fiction.

Electric school buses could offer a cleaner and cheaper way to help children arrive to school safely, while playing a part in the journey to net zero. Find out why more of the school buses in the U.S. are going electric.

While electric vehicles are recognised as reducing carbon emissions, we still get lots of questions about the life of electric car batteries and whether they will end up in landfill, potentially knocking electric cars’ green credentials.

To avoid the worst effects of climate change, the world needs to halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Since COP26, we’ve been working harder than ever to deliver a clean, fair and affordable energy future, with no one left behind. These are 10 of our most significant projects, all aimed at bringing us closer to net zero.

Cable Engineering Manager Caroline Bradley tells us about her work on North Sea Link – the world’s longest subsea cable, which shares clean energy between the UK and Norway – plus the importance of diversity within the energy industry and why it’s an exciting time to join the ‘green collar’ workforce.

Yellow school buses are US icons, carrying around 25 million students daily, but they are also big polluters. Mike Cooper, Director of Global Innovation at National Grid Partners, is working with our Clean Transportation team to clean up school journeys by helping to replace diesel buses with electric alternatives.
