EVENT
Great Debate 2022 The Future for Residential Heating
Date 16 March 2022
Time 19:00 - 21:00
Location Online
Event Information
The UK government has published its Heat and Buildings Strategy, a plan to replace fossil-fuelled
heating like gas boilers with low-carbon technologies such as heat pumps. This is a comprehensive
and groundbreaking strategy that flags a range of complex issues involved in solving a problem like
decarbonising heat.
Natural gas boilers are seen as one of the biggest barriers to the net zero target — they produce 58.5
million tons of carbon dioxide a year, compared to 27 million cars emitting 56 million tons annually, the
National Housing Federation says.
With a ban on new build natural gas fired domestic boilers not far off, there is considerable uncertainty
about what will happen and what the best options are for individual circumstances.
The aim of this year’s Great Debate event is to update the audience on these issues and to provide a
forum for those attending to ask questions of the experts.
The topics to be covered will include:
1. Why do we need to change the residential heating
2. Electrical based alternatives
3. Hydrogen Systems Implications
4. Ensuring new build delivers carbon reductions
Time: 19:00 - 21:00, online
Admission free. Booking essential.
