As many of you may know, the government has revealed their strategy to achieve Carbon Net Zero by 2050.

Over the last three decades, the government have reduced emissions by 44 per cent – while growing our economy by over 75 per cent. This goal of the strategy is to make the historic transition to remove carbon from power, retire the internal combustion engine from vehicles, and phase out gas boilers from homes. 



Based on the Prime Minister’s 10 Point Plan, Net Zero Strategy sets out how the UK will deliver on its commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050; while the Heat and Building strategy highlights how households will benefit from £5,000 government grants through £450 million Boiler Upgrade Scheme to help install low-carbon heating systems such as Air Sourced Heat Pumps.

The strategy outlines measures to transition to a green and sustainable future, helping businesses and consumers to move to clean power, supporting hundreds of thousands of well-paid jobs and leveraging up to £90 billion of private investment by 2030. Reducing Britain’s reliance on imported fossil fuels will protect consumers from global price spikes by boosting clean energy alternatives and accessibility. 

The heat and buildings strategy sets out the government’s plan to significantly cut carbon emissions from the UK’s 30 million homes and workplaces in a simple, low-cost and greenway whilst ensuring this remains affordable and fair for households across the country. Like the transition to electric vehicles, this will be a gradual transition that will start by incentivizing consumers and driving down costs.

There are about 30 million buildings in the UK. Heating these buildings contributes to almost a quarter of all UK emissions. Addressing the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering homes, workplaces and public facilities can not only save money on energy bills and improve lives but can support up to 240,000 skilled green jobs by 2035, boosting economic growth.

We look forward to seeing what the future holds for us.
