Our response to the Prime Minister's new approach to reaching Net Zero by 2050
Read the comment from Jenny Curtis, Managing Director at our UK Heat Business:
Jenny Curtis, Managing Director at Vattenfall Heat UK commented:
"In the UK, one third of greenhouse gas emissions come from heating homes and buildings. Delaying the phase-out of gas boilers risks removing the incentive for building owners to switch to lower-carbon alternatives.
"The UK cannot afford to stall the deployment of low carbon heating by sending mixed messages about the future of fossil fuels. Companies will stop investing and the establishment of the supply chain and skills base that we so desperately need will fail to happen."
