Why Low Carbon Solutions And Why Now?
Global Warming is a key focus area around the world, with all goals aiming toward keeping the global temperature under a 2-degree Celsius increase (Compared to pre-industrial levels)
UK Government signed up to the Kyoto Agreement in 2005, committing to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, with milestones to hit every decade.
There have been other climate change commitments recently
- Paris Agreement (2016)
- Governments 10 point plan (2020)
- Cop26 (2021)
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions combats climate change. Switching to renewable energy not only reduces carbon emissions from fossil fuels but also provides energy security.
The Average UK Home currently emits around 2,806kg CO2 on heating each year. Switching to Heat Pumps will reduce this figure.
Switching to low carbon heating along with the UK's Energy Strategy targets announced on April 7th, 2022, which aims to have 95% low carbon energy production on the grid by 2030 will be a major step toward the Kyoto Agreement.
In different parts of the UK, there are government boiler upgrade schemes providing financial support for your switch to a low-carbon heat pump.
