Boilers: Carbon Emissions
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the oral evidence by the Minister for Energy and Climate to the Scottish Affairs Committee on 16 January 2023, HC 83, whether he plans to implement the recommendation of the Independent Review of Net Zero to bring forward the date of phasing out new and replacement gas boilers from 2033 to 2035.
- Answer
-
The Heat and Buildings Strategy set out the UK's aim to phase out the installation of new and replacement natural gas boilers from 2035, to ensure all heating systems used in 2050 are compatible with net zero. This would mean when consumers replace their heating source, they replace it with a low-carbon or low-carbon ready appliance.
The Government is considering the recommendations made by my Rt. Hon. Friend the Member for Kingswood in the Independent Review of Net Zero, and will respond in due course.
