As highlighted by the latest Climate Change Committee (CCC) report criticising the UK's slow progress towards net-zero, the electrification of heat in the decarbonisation of buildings remains a key priority. It also presents a considerable opportunity to boost the British economy and create thousands of green jobs. But, as the CCC states, the government needs to shift from ambitious targets to the effective delivery of policies. At Kensa, we support the government's climate targets. Recent studies, such as the Low Carbon Heat Study published by Element Energy, demonstrate the benefits of ground source heat pumps in decarbonising buildings, including lower household bills and energy consumption, reduced strain on the electricity grid, and billions saved in energy infrastructure upgrades and investment.
