There is no clear consensus on how best to decarbonise heat at scale. Using the gas grid to transport hydrogen is one of several potential approaches, which include heat networks, heat pumps and biogas. The government's review of the evidence base on approaches to decarbonising heat is set out in our report ‘Clean Growth: Transforming Heating’.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 22/03/2019 07:23:29 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
