Development of trajectories of residential heat decarbonisation ahead of the sixth carbon budget

In May 2019 the Committee on Climate Change published 'Net Zero: The UK's contribution to stopping global warming'. This report set out the Committee's advice that the UK should commit to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Earlier this year the Government and Devolved Administrations subsequently legislated for net zero greenhouse gas targets to be enacted in law. Achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions requires a close-to-full decarbonisation of heat in buildings. As part of our advice on net zero, we developed a view of the different technology mixes which have potential to almost fully decarbonise buildings by 2050. To achieve net zero across the economy, bu…
