Carbon Emissions: Heating

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether she has taken steps to promote the use of carbon-neutral wood burning stoves in the home.

[112090]

Answer

I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

The Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) currently supports the installation of wood burning stoves in off gas grid dwellings where they are connected to a back boiler and supply the majority of space heating in the home.

In September 2012, we will consult on how we can support renewable heating for households over the longer term.
