How retrofitting the UK’s old buildings can generate an extra £35bn in new money

The key point for me is this paragraph which means trades and suppliers need to provide appropriate materials (eg Wood Fibre) and standards (eg moisture safe methods)

One week in and our new heat pump is making a big difference. We’re using ~70% less energy to achieve the same water heating result

Overall it means daily demand on our system has dropped ~20%

This reduced demand means our batteries are able to keep us off grid most of the time, even on generally sub-optimal days with long spells of low cloud

Sadly governments across the globe still don’t see the potential of these practical solutions

Heat pumps ‘up to three times cheaper’ than green hydrogen in Europe, study finds - Carbon Brief

“Green” hydrogen is unlikely to emerge as a cheap replacement for gas boilers in homes across Europe, according to a new study.

@muratk3n @ukuku I don’t agree that #Hydrogen is the silver bullet that’s going to serve all our energy needs. I do believe that #EnergyEffciency will become an important driver. Heat pumps, for instance, are very efficient in heating (and cooling). It’s highly likely that this will become the cheapest and most popular solution for most buildings.
Also, the power distribution system is almost universally available. Building an alternative infrastructure is hard to justify
