UK has already cut emissions by more than 50% since 1990 .

Watchdog CCC says it should extend this to 81% by 2035 .

Meeting the goal would require much greater investment in renewable energy, electric cars and heat pumps.

UK 's relative success so far has been largely down to cleaning up electricity, with progress in other areas proving more difficult.
