Changes in public policy are still needed to encourage a switch from gas boilers to hybrid systems now, but the Future Homes Standard should be implemented now.
A project to develop a green domestic heating solution, led by the University of Exeter, has received £5 million (€5.7 million) of funding from the EU’s INTERREG 2 Seas programme.
The Sustainable Energy Association (SEA) has called on the government to bring in a carbon intensity standard to help drive down emissions in heating.
Innovation is needed to make the switch to low carbon heating affordable, and to ensure that it delivers comparable or superior performance to natural gas boilers.
