The aim of the session is to discuss questions of funding related to the low carbon heat transition.

The online roundtable will include considering the following topics:

• What is the most equitable way to allocate the costs of the transition to low carbon heat?
• How should the costs associated with the transition to low carbon heat interact with the wider transition to net-zero emissions across all sectors?
• Which factors will affect consumers’ willingness to pay for low carbon heat?
• What policy mechanisms are the most equitable and efficient ways to incentivise the transition to low carbon heat? E.g. bill levies, carbon pricing or taxation.
• How should low carbon heat be funded in the short- and long-term?
