Heating

Overview

53% of all energy in the UK (excluding energy used for transport) is used for space and water heating. This rises to a staggering 82% for the domestic sector! (DECC Energy Consumption in the UK, 2009 update). Between 2005 and 2010, total energy prices for the domestic sector rose in real terms by 45.8% (gas: 65%, heating oil and electricity: 37%). Energy prices for the industrial sector rose by 50.4% in real terms. (DECC Energy Trends, June 2010.)

As if the cost of fossil fuels for heating were not a strong enough argument, environmental concerns about CO2 emissions from fossil fuels add to the pressure to look for a reduction in energy use and to alternative energy sources. More recently, the introductions of the UK Feed-In Tariff for 'renewable' electricity and the Renewable Heat Incentive have created further financial incentives to look to alternatives to fossil fuels.
