What's happening to reach low carbon heating?

Heating buildings accounts for approximately 33 percent of the UK’s CO2 emissions yet still many homes and businesses, shops, cafes and gyms are heated using natural gas.

Here we explore why it’s so important we act now and what can be done to enable fossil free heating in the UK:

The challenge: Hitting net zero
Why heating needs an upgrade
How district heating works to decarbonise cities
The vision for UK heat networks

The challenge is big and change needs to happen beyond the energy sector. We’re bringing together the people and ideas that are helping to change how we heat our homes and businesses, not just from the energy sector, but industry associations, property developers, local authorities, green investors and consultancies. Here you will find a variety of useful perspectives on the UK’s route towards fossil free heating – we need to think beyond energy to make it happen.
