CPD: Decarbonising the UK’s heat
The UK is targeting a 68% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, leading towards Net Zero by 2050. Bearing in mind that heating in its various forms accounts for around 40% of the UK’s total GHG emissions, the decarbonisation of heat will be an essential part of hitting our climate targets. This 40 per cent headline value splits roughly into: 20% space heating, 5 per cent hot water and 15% industrial processes. Let’s explore the role of energy efficiency in decarbonising heat, as well as some of the technologies
