As the UK’s biggest source of emissions, heating accounts for about 37% of total emissions when including industrial processes. But – while we’ve made great strides in decarbonising electricity and transport – the shift to net-zero carbon heating is still at an early stage.

The decarbonisation of heat over the next few years is therefore vital for businesses to reach achieve net-zero commitments; whether that be through the deployment of low-carbon technologies such as electric heat pumps, district heating and low-carbon gases, or by reducing demand through improved energy efficiency.

This 45-minute masterclass broke down down how businesses can identify and deploy the most viable technologies to achieve net-zero carbon heat, along with other operational ‘quick-wins which can support those heat decarbonisation goals. The session included two expert presenters and a live audience Q&A.

Registration is free and full information on the expert speakers and key discussion points can be found below. 

Discussion points:

  • Setting your heat decarbonisation strategy
  • Heat pumps: key considerations for deployment
  • Other pathways and solutions to decarbonise your heat

    The sole large capacity, controllable, non-carbon source of energy, 24/24, is nuclear.
