Of all the sectors in the UK, decarbonising heat remains one of the most challenging. Heat used for industrial, domestic and commercial purposes generates around a third of all UK carbon emissions, 70% of which is due to burning natural gas. In order to meet our legally binding national climate change targets, unabated natural gas use for heat must be phased out. Low carbon gas - including hydrogen and biogases - is one option to replace it. The Future Gas Series examines the opportunities and challenges associated with using low carbon gas to help decarbonise the UK economy.
