District heating in the UK contributes only 2% to heat demand and >90% is fossil fuel based.
By 2050 district heating could contribute 20% to UK heat demand. Modelling for the Climate Change Committee identifies heat pumps using excess and ambient heat as key technologies for decarbonisation.
If you do one good Nerd Thing this week, make it tapping the 'I Don't Need a Refund' button in Tweetbot and Twitterrific.
These apps, in many ways, pioneered the modern concept of quality, indie app for iPhone. They gave us much more than they ever asked for with their subscriptions.

Usually, when a big company shuts down an API, they give customers time to prepare. It’s the right thing to do regardless of what any terms of service say. That’s not how things went down with Twitter. Instead, as I wrote in January, Twitter eliminated access to its API for many third-party apps, including Tweetbot
#energytwitter / #energymastodon help! I'd planned to get a heat pump soon, but my boiler was declared dead this weekend and it's cold!
I've spoken to 2 engineers and filled in loads of online forms: seems I can get a boiler tomorrow but a heat pump in 6 weeks. Really?
I've tested radiators at 50c flow temp this Dec, modelled building heat loss at ~5-6kW, know I have a 100A fuse+fat enough pipes. But I'm not a heat engineer/MCS certified and am bad at plumbing.
Anyone fancy a challenge?
The APIs that Twitter/Mastodon migration tools use are being shutoff in a few days, so if you haven't scraped your followers from there yet you may want to do so now.

“Hey folks, even if you're not planning on using Mastodon instantly, you should take some time this week to create an account and set up your follows. Twitter is starting to charge for API access to the migration tools in 5 days, meaning the migration tools will probably break.”
People in the UK will collectively gain millions of life-years if we reach net-zero emissions
Cumulative gains by 2050
+800,000 cosier homes
+736,000 cleaner fuels
+400,000 healthier diets
+125,000 active travel
We’ve prepared this summary to meet the regular requests we receive from other parts of the world, but it’s a very accessible guide for anyone in the UK too.
We’ll be reviewing this method as we plan for Carbon Budget 7.
How does the Climate Change Committee build our recommended path to Net Zero for the UK?
This is a new guide to how we determine a sector-by-sector pathway - the pace of emissions reduction that can be achieved, the trade-offs, implications and constraints involved in the transition.
