The government hopes replacing gas boilers with electricity-driven heat pumps will play a large role in cutting emissions from the sector.<br \/>\nAdvertisement \u00b7 Scroll to continue<\/p>\n<p>KEY QUOTES<br \/>\nThe report by the National Audit Office (NAO): &#8220;found that the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has no overarching long-term plan to address the low levels of awareness among households about the steps required to decarbonise home heating&#8221;.<br \/>\n&#8220;Government needs to engage every household to achieve its objective to decarbonise home heating as part of the transition to net zero,&#8221; said NAO head Gareth Davies.<br \/>\nAdvertisement \u00b7 Scroll to continue<\/p>\n<p>CONTEXT<br \/>\nBritain has a legally binding target to reach net zero emissions by 2050 but meeting it will require a change in the way most of its 28 million homes are heated, NAO said in the report.<\/p>\n<p>BY THE NUMBERS<br \/>\nSome 18,900 heat pumps were installed between May 2022 and December 2023 compared with government expectations of 50,000, the report said. The government wants to see 600,000 heat pumps installed per year by 2028.<\/p>\n<p>THE RESPONSE<br \/>\nA spokesperson for Britain&#8217;s Department for Energy and Security and Net Zero said it is running a TV, radio and newspaper campaign reaching 16.6 million households with information about heat pumps, insulation and ways people can cut their bills.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By helping rather than forcing families to install heat pumps, with a 50% bigger heat pump grant, we have boosted applications by nearly 40%.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/uk\/britains-emissions-cuts-hampered-by-slow-heat-pump-uptake-watchdog-says-2024-03-18\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/britains-emissions-cuts-hampered-by-slow-heat-pump-uptake-watchdog-says\/\">Britain&#8217;s emissions cuts hampered by slow heat pump uptake, watchdog says<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[13821,1016,7016,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-128984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-britain-emissions","tag-cut","tag-heat-pump","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128984"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128984\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
