We all know that climate change is a vast, ever-increasing problem around the world. Emissions from fossil fuels are heating the planet and rapidly altering our environments, with devastating effects.
We’ve heard the ambitions from government leaders, with plans for the UK to hit net-zero emissions by 2050 - but how do we achieve this? Policy reforms and increased incentives for homeowners are a powerful start, but understanding the practical solutions is even more crucial.
Home heating accounts for around 14 per cent of all carbon emissions in the UK. This is mainly down to boilers being run on fossil fuels, such as natural gas or oil. Transforming the way we heat our homes is widely accepted as a key component to help meet net zero goals, and ultimately reduce the impact of climate change.
So, how do we produce sustainable home heating? And is it a viable option for UK homeowners? The answer to these queries could lie in solar energy and adopting it into our heating systems.
