The inexpensive #HeatPump as a direct replacement for the #GasBoiler is always going to be fraught with #Disinformation when it comes to evaluating value vs performance. What is not subject to debate however are the #Decarbonization and #Ecological benefits of no longer burning gas. These are #Facts. Home designs must evolve to maximize the benefit streams, along with #BehavioralChange by consumers. @primonatura

🚨BREAKING: #London discovers its own version of "The Great Smog" isn't caused by cars or factories, but by your grandma's cozy gas boiler. 🎉 Who knew? Apparently, breathing in quaint British charm comes with a side of lung damage. 🌫️

Gas boilers now biggest source of air pollution in central London, study shows

The reduction in road vehicle pollution since ULEZ was introduced in central London has another side effect: it's easier to identify where the rest of London's pollution is coming from.

#BritishGas emailed me to suggest installing a new #GasBoiler, because mine just turned 10 years old. They didn't mention #heatpumps.

Gas boiler fittings outnumbered heat pumps by 15 to one in UK last year – report

Poorer households shut out of heat pump market and grants should be increased to speed up rollout, thinktank says

Could a shared heat pump system warm every home on your street?

The era of the gas boiler is almost over. That much is clear. What isn’t so clear is what will replace it.

Usually, ground source heat pumps can only be installed in homes with plenty of land, but a UK company is rolling out shared networks for entire streets.

After ICE controversy, now #EU’s gas boiler ban may be killed

"At the April forum, the German Government spoke out in favour of the EU #GasBoiler ban – reflecting the position of the Social Democrats and Greens in its governing coalition. France, Belgium, Sweden and Denmark were also in favour. The opposition came from eastern Europe, led by one western European country: #Italy."

Misinformation about the gas boiler ban is rife in Italian right-wing news outlets.

Oops, they did it again? After ICE controversy, now EU’s gas boiler ban may be killed

Much like the recent ICE car controversy, the issue of synthetic liquid fuels is interfering with a proposed EU gas boiler ban.

#Gasboiler, die heute als „H2-ready“ bezeichnet werden, sind erstmal nur „Beimischungs-ready“ – sie schaffen technisch maximal eine #Wasserstoff-Beimischung von ca. 20%, also 80% Erdgas. Die Gasnetze selbst sind nochmal viel komplexer zu transformieren. 2/11
