вЂњProviding grants for installing heat pumps is essential as they are more expensive than gas boilers, but the level of funding is too low.вЂќ Stephen Fry signs petition calling for 'fragile' Norfolk chalk stream to be restored.This is an important signal in the run-up to Cop26 in Glasgow. He added: вЂњThe UK would be the first country in the world banning the installation of new fossil heating systems which will set an example to others. Jan Rosenow, Europe director at the Regulatory Assistance Project вЂ“ which aims to accelerate the shift to clean, reliable and efficient energy, said there were many positive elements to the strategy. вЂњAs the technology improves and costs plummet over the next decade, we expect low carbon heating systems will become the obvious, affordable choice for consumers.вЂќ вЂњOur new grants will help homeowners make the switch sooner, without costing them extra, so that going green is the better choice when their boiler needs an upgrade.вЂќД«usiness and Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng added: вЂњRecent volatile global gas prices have highlighted the need to double down on our efforts to reduce BritainвЂ™s reliance on fossil fuels and move away from gas boilers over the coming decade to protect consumers in long term. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: вЂњAs we clean up the way we heat our homes over the next decade, we are backing our brilliant innovators to make clean technology like heat pumps as cheap to buy and run as gas boilers вЂ“ supporting thousands of green jobs.

Heat pumps currently cost an average ВЈ10,000 to install and do not necessarily deliver savings on running costs despite being much more efficient than gas, because green levies are higher on electricity than on gas.Д¬leaning up emissions from buildings, which accounted for 17% of the UKвЂ™s greenhouse gases in 2019, mostly from heating, will require a mix of low-carbon solutions, including heat networks, and potentially also the use of hydrogen boilers where hydrogen can be produced cleanly.

The Government said its plans would help people install low-carbon heating systems in a simple, fair and cheap way as they come to replace their old boilers over the next decade.ДЄnd it said it would work with industry to make heat pumps the same cost to buy and run as fossil fuel units by 2030.Д«ig cost reductions of between a quarter and a half are expected by 2025, as the market expands and technology develops, officials said. There is also a ВЈ60 million innovation fund to make clean heat systems smaller and easier to install and cheaper to run. The grants for heat pumps will be available for households in England and Wales, as part of the UK-wide heat and buildings strategy. The ВЈ5,000 grants will be available from next April, and will mean people installing a heat pump will pay a similar amount to the installation of traditional gas boilers, according to the plans. The scheme forms part of more than ВЈ3.9 billion to cut carbon from heating and buildings, including making social housing more energy efficient and cosier and reducing emissions from public buildings, over the next three years.

The grants to install low carbon heating systems such as heat pumps, which run on electricity and work like a fridge in reverse to extract energy from the air or ground, will be provided through a ВЈ450 million boiler upgrade scheme.

Switching to low carbon heat pumps: Key questions answered.

The moves form part of the heat and buildings strategy being published today (Tuesday), along with the GovernmentвЂ™s wider plans to cut UK climate emissions to net zero by 2050.Д®nding the sale of new fossil fuel boilers was welcomed as sending an important signal to the world in the run-up to key UN Cop26 climate talks hosted by the UK, but experts and campaigners warned the pot of funding for heat pumps was insufficient. It will also support up to 240,000 jobs across the UK by 2035, they added. Switching to low carbon heating in the coming years will cut emissions, and reduce the UKвЂ™s dependency on fossil fuels and exposure to global price spikes in gas, ministers said. The Government announced the grants as it confirmed a target for all new heating system installations to be low carbon by 2035, but insisted families are not going to be forced to remove their existing fossil fuel boilers. Grants of ВЈ5,000 will be available to households to replace their gas boiler with a low carbon heat pump as part of efforts to cut emissions from homes.
