With almost half of UK energy consumption being heat related, achieving net-zero by 2050 requires rapid action on heat. This theme will analyse heat decarbonisation pathways, characterise key uncertainties, and explore challenges and opportunities. Research within this theme includes projects that embedded in some of the other themes.
In this blog, Keith Bell argues that Governments need to get their heads around the radical changes...

This report outlines the challenges of modelling interactions between national and regional/local energy systems. It summarises the capability of selected UKERC models and identifies research gaps and areas for future model development.
There is uncertainty over how heating might practically be decarbonised in the future. This briefing provides some clarity about the possible pathways forward, focusing on the next 5-10 years.
In this response authors voice concerns that the measures outlined are not ambitious enough to drive the UK’s transformation to sustainable heating at a rate commensurate with the goal of net-zero by 2050.
