Abstract
Current progress on heat decarbonisation is not commensurate with the rate of change required for net zero by 2050. A combination of energy efficiency, heat pumps and district heating is the least-cost technology pathway for heat decarbonisation in the next 10 years. The scale and speed of the transition means that decarbonisation progress for areas currently on the gas grid will be required before more about hydrogen is known. the electricity system impacts of heat electrification can be reduced by smart operation of heating systems in well-insulated buildings. Current policy ambition falls far short of delivering residential heat decarbonisation in line with the UK’s net zero emissions target.
