Jeff House, Head of External Affairs at Baxi Heating, was recently invited to take part in a podcast for SGN, in which several industry experts explored the options available for decarbonizing heat.

'Heat without carbon' provides a comprehensive and balanced briefing on the role of green gas in our shared future for energy. Jeff joined Angus McIntosh of SGN, Mark Neller, Director at ARUP, and Tim Harwood from NGN for this interesting discussion.

Addressing climate emergency

The climate emergency is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world over the next decade. To reverse global warming, will require nations, companies, and organizations to work in partnership and put in place the means to decarbonize difficult sectors, like heating, transport, and heavy industry.

Replacing natural gas with hydrogen and biomethane will be fundamental to achieving the UK’s net-zero targets

Phasing out the carbon-rich natural gas that heats around 85% of UK homes and fuels almost 40% of the electricity generation is one of the greatest opportunities for decarbonization. Replacing natural gas with hydrogen and biomethane will be fundamental to achieving the UK’s net-zero targets.

Reducing carbon footprint

Hydrogen produces no carbon when it burns and has the potential to significantly cut the carbon footprint of homes, businesses, and transport networks and potentially offer one of the most cost-effective pathways to decarbonization with minimal disruption for energy consumers.

In Heat without carbon, Baxi explores the options for consumers and the energy sector. It’ll be reviewing current research projects and drawing on the insights and opinions of renowned experts in the field, partner organizations, and colleagues from SGN’s Energy Futures team. Tune in to 'Heat without carbon' for a comprehensive and balanced briefing on the role of green gas in the shared future for energy.
