"Imperial College Energy Futures Lab said it was likely that using hydrogen as an energy source in the gas grid [for houses] would only be feasible from the early to mid-2030s, at the very earliest"
Decarb of heating is about heat pumps for now

The gas price crisis & mounting geopolitical tensions between Russia & Ukraine have once again highlighted that Europe needs a secure, local supply of renewable energy and to cut down gas consumption, much of which goes on heating our homes.

Our new research shows that England’s 25 million homes – which produce 58.5 million tonnes of CO2 every year – emit the equivalent of the average annual use of 28 million cars. That’s a million more cars than are in use in England.

Worth considering how things might have gone had it not been for the Green Homes Grant admin fiasco. France invested €30bn in a green recovery w/ €5.8bn for retrofits, injecting €2bn more to reap further benefits. Lessons for @hmtreasury ahead of COP26

Great to speak on @5_News about why we need a #FairHeatDeal to make the shift away from fossil gas boilers affordable for all. We call on @hmtreasury to take steps to grow the market to lower costs & hit climate targets
16 Jun 2021
A great way to hit Net Zero and reduce energy bills, according to campaigners, is replacing gas boilers with heat pumps.
They're expensive - so businesses, charities and experts urge the government to supply them to poorer households for free.

The @IEA just released the world’s first comprehensive roadmap for the global energy sector to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Our special report shows the pathway to net zero by 2050 is narrow but still achievable if governments act now.

Fossil fuel industry representatives have suggested that, when it comes to decarbonising buildings, hydrogen is their get out of jail free card. No need to insulate buildings. Just replace the fuel.
Here's why their argument is deeply flawed and false.

If (like me) you have not yet managed to fully digest the proposals in the current MHCLG consultation on Part L1, L2, Overheating, Future Homes and Future Buildings Standards then @CIBSE have a helpful summary and a call to help formulate their response:
