UK District Energy Association Welcomes Recommendation for Government to Set Clear Targets for Deployment of Low Carbon District Heating
15th October 2015
The influential cross party network Carbon Connect has launched its long awaited publication Policy for Heat: Transforming the System which sets out clear recommendations for the Government to follow if they are to decarbonise the heat sector and meet their legally binding carbon reduction obligations.
This document contains nine clear recommendations for the Government to follow in the context of the Climate Change Act’s legally binding carbon targets and the Committee on Climate Change’s 2015 Report to Parliament which concluded that ‘significant action’ is needed for the UK to meet the necessary emission reductions of the Fourth Carbon Budget.
One of the key recommendations in the Carbon Connect report is for the government to set clear targets for district heating deployment as well as very importantly extend the remit of the Government’s Heat Network Delivery Unit beyond the feasibility stage.
Simon Woodward Chairman of the ukDEA welcomed the report stating that “Setting targets for deployment of low carbon district heating is essential if the Government are to meet their legally binding carbon reduction targets. The Government has acknowledged the ukDEA’s calculation of 14% as a realistic potential market penetration for low carbon districting, which the Government has used many times in its own publications. Now is the time for the Government to formally adopt this target and put in place the necessary polices to achieve this”
