Heat Seminar: driving strategic heat decarbonisation About the Event
While the decarbonisation of electricity is a Scottish success story, the dial has barely moved on heat. Delivering zero-emission heating is the next step in our energy transition and we need to act now if we are going to achieve net-zero by 2045.
Based on the Scottish Government’s heat network targets, the heat networks market is worth an estimated £5.2 billion – providing huge potential to deliver economic activity and jobs alongside affordable, low-carbon heat. When heat pumps are added to the picture, the potential becomes even greater.
But significant barriers to investment remain, with the lack of a national, strategic plan for heat networks, the slow pace at which much-needed legislation and policy are being delivered, and the cost disparity between electricity and gas high on the list.
Following the publication of Scottish Renewables’ National Heat Networks: A Vision for Scotland, this seminar will bring key industry leaders and stakeholders together to explore the actions that the Scottish and UK governments must take to deliver city-scale heat networks across Scotland and stimulate the wide-scale uptake of heat pumps.
We will cover:
- The policy changes shaping the future direction of heat decarbonisation and what this means for the industry.
- What needs to happen to deliver city-wide heat networks across Scotland and the investment opportunities this would bring.
- Key factors that could deliver growth in heat pump installations and how this could be realised.
