The UK government has published its Heat and Buildings Strategy, a plan to replace fossil-fuelled
\nheating like gas boilers with low-carbon technologies such as heat pumps. This is a comprehensive and groundbreaking strategy that flags a range of complex issues involved in solving a problem like decarbonising heat.<\/p>\n

Natural gas boilers are seen as one of the biggest barriers to the net zero target \u2014 they produce 58.5 million tons of carbon dioxide a year, compared to 27 million cars emitting 56 million tons annually, the National Housing Federation says.<\/p>\n

With a ban on new build natural gas fired domestic boilers not far off, there is considerable uncertainty about what will happen and what the best options are for individual circumstances.<\/p>\n

The aim of this year\u2019s Great Debate event is to update the audience on these issues and to provide a forum for those attending to ask questions of the experts.<\/p>\n

The topics to be covered will include:
\n1. Why do we need to change the residential heating
\n2. Electrical based alternatives
\n3. Hydrogen Systems Implications
\n4. Ensuring new build delivers carbon reductions<\/p>\n

Time: 19:00 – 21:00, online
\nAdmission free. Booking essential via The Great Debate booking page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
