Last year, a study was completed by Imperial College London to crunch the numbers for us. As the report demonstrates, we can power both homes and businesses with green gas – and it’s much cheaper and faster than making everyone convert to heat pumps.
A home that uses a heat pump will have annual energy bills that are higher by over 40% - than the same home using a gas boiler. Heat pumps won’t work in 20% of our homes without significant home upgrades, while for another 20% they won’t work full stop. A national air source heat pump program will cost six times as much as a green gas program - almost £300 billion versus £50 billion. To us, it's a no-brainer.
