Building Decarbonization Coalition

To give confidence to anyone who is mulling over ditching gas boilers and switching to heat pumps. It’s been below zero for a week in glasgow and my festive looking air source heat pump is working well. All nice and warm in an 150 year old townhouse and no complaints from family. Make the switch and save 5 tonnes of CO2 per year.

“We want to show people as quickly as possible that this is pretty much an ‘anywhere’ technology … that makes sense where the gas system makes sense,” said Zeyneb Magavi, executive director of Heet, a nonprofit involved with the Framingham project.  https://lnkd.in/euTqi2M8

📣 As the Illinois Commerce Commission investigates the future of gas in the state, a new analysis by the Citizens Utility Board (Illinois) and Groundwork Data reveals the financial risks in a business-as-usual approach to gas pipeline replacement in Chicago. ⚡️The report demonstrates how escalating delivery costs, clean energy policies, and competition from clean energy alternatives represent major business threats to the long-term viability of Peoples Gas and the customers who depend on affordable energy to heat their homes. 🌱 This report offers even more evidence for why we need a managed, neighborhood-scale transition off of the gas system and onto clean energy infrastructure—an affordable and sustainable energy system that serves current and future generations. 📖 Read the full report: https://hubs.ly/Q02XwDrq0 🔍 Put this into state context with our Future of Gas in Illinois report: https://hubs.ly/Q02XwBWy0 🔍 Put it in national context with our Future of Gas webinar: https://hubs.ly/Q02XwFLx0
