| Objectives | The paper will address a specific area of the energy system. The intention is that it should be short format and easily digestible by a wide range of readers.Rather than trying to explain or cover an entire area the paper will quickly focus on areas of key impact that will “make a difference” with a specific focus on steps that will mobilise and garner public and community support to transform the way we generate, use and think about low carbon energy.The paper will consider what radical measure could be taken to really make a difference, including for example considering how the RHI scheme could be expanded and improved, tax and other incentives could be used to encourage investment, regulatory measures and the role of planning to encourage, or enforce, low carbon heating solutions. The project will fund a report which will consider the merits and barriers affecting each of the main options of decarbonising heat:Energy efficiency measuresElectrification of heatDecarbonisation of gasHeat networksAlternative fuels including hydrogen and biomethane A strident and radical viewpoint that explores the various options for low carbon heat, both for domestic customers and for businesses | |
| Abstract | A project that will explore the various options for low carbon heat, both for domestic customers and for businesses. | |
