ambitious plans to increase the amount of renewable electricity which means it will burn less gas and reduce uk gas use was or where i think it s really missed a real opportunity is to help people insulate their homes and reduce the amount of energy they need to use to heat those homes, and that again would both reduce their bills would also reduce the gas use that we need for heating buildings in the uk and would also have the side effect of reducing our emissions as well. so i m really puzzled as to what government has not taken the opportunity today more on that side. this is very much an energy supply strategy rather than thinking about the whole picture the board. fine strategy rather than thinking about the whole picture the board. one of the whole picture the board. one of the other aspects the whole picture the board. one of the other aspects that the whole picture the board. one of the other aspects that stood - the whole picture the board. one of the other aspects that s
within 15 years. from next april, households in england and wales will be offered grants of £5,000 to install air source heat pumps or other green heating. £a50 million will be spent on the boiler upgraded scheme which will run for three years. around 20% of uk emissions are from heating buildings, according to official figures, so there is pressure on this heat and buildings strategy to deliver effective reductions. critics say the scheme is unambitious as the grants amount to just 90,000 replaced boilers. 0urfirst report this morning comes from our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith. it came down there, into that corner. there is a secret lying under richard s garden. the heat for his home is absorbed via an underground network of pipes. it comes in through a ground source pump. so, this is where the actual hardware is located.
more than a fifth of the uk s green house gas emissions come from heating buildings, like homes and offices. so from next april, the government will be offering households in england and wales a subsidy to help meet the cost of replacing gas fired boilers, with low carbon heat pumps. but what are they, and how much do they cost? well, it depends on the type and size of your home. at the moment they re expensive, anything from between £6,000 and £18,000. but the government will give households £5,000 to help bring the price down, with £450 million in all being set aside, over the next three years. however, that only covers the installation of 90,000 pumps. there are currently 25 million homes with gas boilers. with more analysis, here s our consumer affairs correspondent, colletta smith. final checks on a newly installed boiler, and like the vast majority of homes, this one runs on gas.
a heat pump will cost the same as putting a gas boiler in. but critics say its not ambitious enough. on a smaller scale, district heating will be another source of heating for homes. big underground hot water pipes supply heat to housing developments, there s a big new project planned in london, using heat produced from burning waste; heat can also come from large heat pumps based in rivers or even in the sea and then there s hydrogen ? an alternative that big energy companies are putting a lot of money into. they say their existing gas pipes can be used to supply hydrogen around the country. but the independent climate change committee, which advises the government, reckons hydrogen may end up heating only about 11% of uk homes. and the government has now delayed a decision on the potential use of hydrogen for heating buildings until as late as 2026. there are two methods of producing hydrogen. blue hydrogen creates greenhouse gas emissions during its production,
