Government's indecision on hydrogen's role undermines low-carbon heating confidence and rollout
Conclusion
Uncertainty over the UK’s technological direction for decarbonising heat is undermining consumer confidence and supply chain development. In particular, the Government’s failure to decide on the role of hydrogen for home heating is obstructing the rollout of proven electric technologies such as heat pumps. Consumers, installers and the supply chain require long-term certainty to invest in low carbon heating technologies. (Conclusion, Paragraph 89)
