The UK aims to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. To help achieve this goal, the government has announced that all new homes will be banned from installing gas and oil boilers by 2025. Instead, they will be heated by low-carbon alternatives.
The change comes as no surprise, considering that the heat used to warm the UK’s homes contributes to 14% to the nation’s overall emissions level. The ban of gas boilers will be a significant step in the right direction.
Another carbon-reduction measure mandated by the government is that energy suppliers must make all reasonable efforts to install smart meters or Advanced Meter Reading (AMR) equipment in all businesses and homes by 2025.
