The UK's Climate Change Committee (CCC) unveiled its seventh carbon budget, outlining strategies for decarbonisation. The plan aims to significantly increase the installation of heat pumps in homes, projecting that by 2040, half of UK homes will be heated by heat pumps. This shift is expected to aid in achieving a fully decarbonised housing stock by 2050. Additionally, the budget stresses the importance of enhancing home insulation, including various measures like loft and cavity wall insulation, to improve energy efficiency. Furthermore, the plan includes utilizing Carbon Capture and Storage technologies, transitioning non-road mobile machinery to electric and hydrogen power, and addressing land-use changes to support net-zero goals. Stakeholders, such as Roger Mortlock from CPRE, emphasize the need for strategic land use planning to effectively implement decarbonisation measures. Will Walker, representing Ashden, applauds the CCC's report, highlighting the positive impacts of heat pump adoption, emission reductions, energy bill savings, and job creation. Asif Ghafoor, CEO of a national EV charging network, praises the UK's leadership in the EV market and calls for a focus on private sector involvement in EV charging infrastructure development. Overall, the response to the budget is positive, with an emphasis on the benefits of transitioning to sustainable energy solutions and promoting community engagement in climate action.
