Alternative future energy pathways: Assessment of the potential of innovative decentralised energy systems in the UK

In order to meet its 2050 target of 80% carbon emissions reduction, the UK is facing a challenge of restructuring its energy system, possibly by introducing more decentralised energy (DE) systems.
