Major carbon reductions and billions of pounds saved for government and consumers – the opportunity with renewable liquid fuels

Decarbonising virtually all oil heated homes through heat pumps may be a noble ambition for the government, but the evidence for this approach doesn’t stack up.

That’s why we need renewable liquid fuels.
