This talk will look at all of the four pathways identified within UK Government policy on heat decarbonisation, considering the pros and cons, along with the likelihood of success.

Heat is responsible for around 37% (including industrial) of the UK’s carbon emissions, so is a significant part of meeting our Net Zero targets. In spite of having a dedicated heat policy since 2013, it has proven very difficult to gain traction to shift away from the use of natural gas, which has been the dominant fuel for more than half a century.

The longer that progress remains slow, the harder the task will be and we are reaching a point where significant decisions have to be taken. The talk will endeavour to present the facts about each pathway with an open discussion at the end to see what attendees think would be the best route.
