The Climate Change Committee's Seventh Carbon Budget report highlights the need for the UK to accelerate its transition to net zero emissions. The report suggests that by 2040, half of homes should be equipped with heat pumps, with installation rates increasing significantly over the next decade. However, the report recommends against using hydrogen for heating buildings, proposing its use in specific industrial sectors and as a backup energy source. Furthermore, the CCC calls for a substantial growth in offshore wind capacity to 88gw by 2040 and a doubling of onshore wind capacity to 32gw. This expansion is to be supported by a rapid development of the transmission grid and distribution network. The aim is to have around 50% of homes heated by heat pumps by 2040, marking a remarkable shift from the 1% in 2023. Anil Sawhney from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors appreciates the report's recommendations but stresses the importance of maintaining high installation standards through skilled professionals. The RICS also urges the government to enforce legislation for measuring and reporting embodied carbon, emphasizing the need for quality assurance in low carbon interventions.
