A total ban on gas boilers by 2035 is set to be scrapped by the UK government despite plans to drive up the use of heat pumps. Homeowners won\u2019t now be forced to replace gas boilers with a green alternative when their home heating needs an upgrade, the UK\u2019s i newspaper reported.<\/p>\n<p>New housebuilding standards, known as the future homes standard (FHS), are set to be published this year. These will reportedly still include a de facto ban on gas boilers in new homes. This proposed set of regulatory changes would require newly built homes to be more energy efficient and emit less carbon. Stringent rules will likely mean gas boilers will no longer meet the minimum standards for green energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 24 million heat pumps now installed in Europe are avoiding greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing 7.5 million cars from the road. Many EU countries &#8211; like France, Norway and Denmark &#8211; have already banned new gas boilers or are in the process of phasing out fossil fuel home heating. But the UK is lagging behind the rest of Europe with around two heat pumps per 1000 households. The government is still aiming for 600,000 heat pumps to be installed across the country each year by 2028. It has promised to extend a \u00a37,500 (\u20ac9,049) subsidy introduced in October last year for people who want to switch.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/01\/07\/uk-scraps-plan-to-ban-gas-boilers-by-2035-can-the-government-boost-heat-pump-uptake\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-650\/\">UK scraps plan to ban gas boilers by 2035: Can the government boost heat pump uptake?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,17501,7016,579],"class_list":["post-136368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-gas-boiler","tag-heat-pump","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136368\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
