@TonyStacey @X Agreed. I just got this from you and I haven’t followed you. Around half the posts I see now are from orgs/people I never followed. Most frustrating

"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
