Policymakers worldwide are seeking solutions to reduce fossil fuel use in heating as a way to mitigate negative climate impacts. Our new handbook gives detailed recommendations for effective clean heat standard design. Learn more in Jan Rosenow’s thread below. ⬇️

Congratulations to our members at RAP for the publication of the Clean heat standards handbook.

Make sure to read Jan Rosenow's excellent breakdown below to find out how and why #CleanHeat standards can be used to #decarbonise heat💡👇

Industry is often classified as a “hard to abate” sector.

Electrification is a critical pathway to a decarbonised industrial sector.

But how to overcome barriers blocking industrial electrification?

🚨NEW REPORT: 🚨

How do we crack the decarbonisation of heat challenge?

➡️Clean heat standards are an important part of the answer.

It is a novel mechanism similar to zero emission vehicle standards and renewable portfolio standards but for heat. 🧵

Study number 57 was published today.

'It is unlikely that hydrogen will play any significant role in heating buildings in the future.'

'Electrification of heating in most buildings remains the most cost-effective pathway to Net Zero.'

We are now beyond peak fossil gas in the Netherlands.

Never has the country used less gas compared to 40 years ago.

This will only accelerate in future years drive by policy and regulation.

This is such a lazy narrative. Installs are up 75% since we increased grant levelal and they work well in older properties. This is about our long term energy security-do we want to heat our homes using UK produced electricity or expensive imported gas? telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/1…

I know this isn't the main issue here but... seriously, get a grip!
Heat pumps aren't 'woke', they're a white box with a fan in them that provide heat very efficiently.
Are tumble dryers woke? Are fridge-freezers woke?
They're very useful and to be honest a bit boring.

Just given a keynote on clean district heating at the Shard in London.

The view from the conference room is a great illustration of the enormous potential for district heating - recoverable heat from tube, ambient heat from the river coupled with a diversity of heat demands.

Data on the costs of transmission and distribution of hydrogen have been relatively scarce.
New study EWI shows that hydrogen pipeline network would cost customers 87% more per unit of energy. Study was funded by DVGW Deutscher Verein des Gas- und Wasserfaches, a gas industry association.
