Net Zero: Living Carbon Free
The Committee on Climate Change has advised that the UK should set a Net-Zero emissions target for 2050, including emissions from aviation and shipping. In this supporting analysis, Energy Systems Catapult has explored net zero from the point of view of households.
Read more Smart Systems and Heat
Heating accounts for 37% of total UK carbon emissions, with how we heat our homes and buildings responsible for around 20%.
To achieve our Net Zero targets, the UK’s 27 million households will need to rapidly adopt new low carbon heat solutions through the 2020s and 2030s. Yet digital technology has the potential to make low carbon heat a better, more consumer-friendly option for all UK households. So Energy Systems Catapult is delivering the UK’s largest smart, consumer-focused project aimed at overcoming the barriers to the decarbonisation of residential heat, to help the UK supply chain can benefit from major opportunities for innovation in technologies and business models.
