The Minister for Climate Change and Industry (Mr Nick Hurd)

Heat accounts for almost half of UK energy use and a third of UK carbon emissions. Decarbonising how we use heat in our homes, businesses and buildings is therefore an essential part of how we transition to a low-carbon economy. It can also in time help to make heating homes and other buildings more efficient and affordable.

Focuses on long-term decarbonisation: promoting the deployment of the right technologies for the right uses, while ensuring the RHI contributes to both our decarbonisation targets and to the UK's renewable energy target.
