This week, Aurora\u2019s CEO John Feddersen speaks with Dan Monzani, Director of Energy Security, Networks & Markets at BEIS, about the UK Government\u2019s long-awaited Energy White Paper: Powering our Net Zero Future, published this week. The Energy White Paper follows Boris Johnson\u2019s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, and establishes a strategy to achieve Net Zero across the wider energy system.\n \nJohn and Dan discuss:\n\n* Market design and carbon pricing: why a trading scheme rather than a tax?\n* Governance: what problems can the independent system operator (ISO) solve?\n* R&D and technology innovation: what are the potential roles for CCUS and hydrogen?\n and also:\n* Should we worry about buying a new internal combustion engine (ICE) car now?
