About the session
The UK government has a 2050 target to reduce carbon emissions by 80% on 1990 levels. Heating and cooling homes accounts for half of all energy consumption and a third of carbon emissions, with 80% of homes using natural gas for heating. This session will explore the latest thinking and alternative approaches for low carbon heat, asking what are the alternatives and technologies, what might they cost, what standards and business models will be viable, and how will these be integrated and delivered at scale to deliver a heat transition?
