This paper uses a whole-system approach to examine different strategies related to the future role of the gas grid in a low-carbon heat system. A novel model of integrated gas, electricity and heat systems, HEGIT, is used to investigate four key sets of scenarios for the future of the gas grid...

Global climate changes urge prompt energy transition for less carbon emissions, from traditional fossil fuels to renewable and sustainable clean energy. However, in reality, the world's energy majority cannot make U-turn immediately to renewables or clean energy due to the immature technology...
