The government is looking for 'bulletproof arguments' against hydrogen for home heating. Thankfully, there are several. The numbers don’t lie 👇

Monthly install rates for heat pumps have ramped up pretty consistently over the last year, but at 5,143/month are still only at about 10% of what the UK needs to hit 2028 target of 600k installs/year. See Ambient's report for this & lots more HP data at tinyurl.com/2s3wbme9

Great news! @UniofExeter awarded £8.6 million for new low carbon heating systems to reduce its fossil fuel use. The @energygovuk funding, from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, will replace 29 gas boilers across 8 buildings at Exeter’s Streatham and St Luke’s campuses.

Did you know that the countries with the most heat pumps installed are also in some of the coldest climates? Find out more in our article in Nature Energy 👇 nature.com/articles/s41560-0…

Is the boiler industry gas lighting you? Accused of “campaigns of misinformation” & “price gouging” by Ministers lobbying that could “hurt” customers @CitizensAdvice Do consumers need to think twice before trusting what the industry says? Let’s have a look at the evidence..🧵

One pushback against heat pumps in the UK is that they don't work well in cold countries. Contrary to this, some of the Nordic countries have amongst the highest uptake of the technologies. @janrosenow's guest blog for @CarbonBrief explores this success: tinyurl.com/mt8jj5vy

Industrial electrification is the main lever to decarbonise industrial process heat. But how can policy and regulation accelerate it? My recent presentation given at a @wbcsd @RegAssistProj webinar on industrial decarbonisation.

The @theCCCuk's annual progress report is out and 5 of their 10 main recommendations are about heat. That's because progress has been so dire 🧵😬.

Denmark is a global energy transition trailblazer. Wind and solar now provide more than 2/3 of Denmark's electricity generation. In 2000 it was just 12%. Fossil fuels used to provide 84% in 2000. In 2023 it was just 12%. @EmberClimate

The @Telegraph keeps spreading misinformation about heat pumps this time in an article by @TaylorColumnist. Many of his claims are not supported by evidence as I set out in great detail in this @CarbonBrief long read: carbonbrief.org/factcheck-18…
Some v misleading claims about heat pumps in this @Telegraph comment piece by Robert Taylor It fails to grasp the key point about heat pumps - they lead to energy security. Reliance on gas boilers is a major reason we were so badly hit by the gas crisis Here's the rundown... 🧵
