Ten years on from the launch of Project Freedom, are hybrid heating systems finally getting the attention they deserve?

In the September edition of Gi, IGEM CEO Oliver Lancaster looks back at the pioneering project and explores how hybrid heating could help bring gas and electricity together, offering flexibility while reducing pressure on the power system.

As the UK works towards decarbonising heat, the feature makes the case for looking at the energy system as a whole – rather than relying on a single technology or solution.

What could a new government mean for the energy industry?

In the September edition of Gi, Zoe Stollard of Browne Jacobson looks at what Andy Burnham’s arrival in Number 10 could mean for energy policy, investment and the regulatory landscape.

With major energy infrastructure projects requiring long-term investment and certainty, the feature explores why clear and consistent policy will be critical if the UK is to turn its energy ambitions into reality.

The September edition of Gi looks at some of the big questions facing the energy sector, from what a new government could mean for energy policy, to the future of biomethane and hybrid heating.

• Power shift - what Andy Burnham’s leadership could mean for energy policy, investment and the industry.
• Green gas, clear mandate - why new NESO analysis strengthens the case for biomethane across power, industry, transport and heat.
• Happy birthday, hybrids - ten years on from Project Freedom, why hybrid heating still has a role to play in a flexible, affordable energy system.
• Historic Gas Times - a look back at the story of Fairford Town gasworks and a rare account of earthquake damage to a British gasworks.

Awareness saves lives.

As engineers and industry professionals, we are trusted sources of advice.

A few moments spent talking about appliance safety, alarms, and carbon monoxide awareness, including the common symptoms of CO poisoning, can have an impact far beyond the job itself.

Let's keep sharing the message during this year's Carbon Monoxide Awareness Campaign and beyond.

The summer holidays provide an ideal opportunity to remind customers about carbon monoxide (CO) risks away from the home too.

Whether they are are travelling in the UK or overseas, encouraging them to take a carbon monoxide alarm with them is simple advice that could make a real difference.

Let's keep sharing the message during this year's Carbon Monoxide Awareness Campaign and beyond.
