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. It’s undeniable the technology has a central role to play, but there are limits, both financial and logistical, to how widely heat pumps can realistically be deployed off the gas grid. That’s why we need renewable liquid fuels.
