Debating the future of UK energy
A
t a recent event, boiler manufacturer
Worcester Bosch partnered with the
Housing Forum in a bid to tackle future
challenges relating to heat provision and
quality construction in the UK.
With increased governance on carbon
emissions, heat is arguably the UK’s biggest
challenge when it comes to decarbonising and
phasing out carbon fossil fuels in new build
housing.
Attendees discussed where energy
might sit amongst a drive towards quality
and sustainable housing and ambitious
construction targets.
Worcester Bosch and spokespeople
from the Department for Business, Energy &
Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Energy Utility
Alliance (EUA) addressed how the country
might best transition from fossil fuel boilers to
more sustainable alternatives, while causing
minimal disruption.
“Events like these are crucial to demystify
the current state of play and future ambitions
for the sector,” said Shelagh Grant, CEO of The
Housing Forum.
“It has been a year of important
announcements in this sector, not least with the
setting of ambitious targets to build 300,000
new homes every year until the mid-2020s.
“We were delighted to have hosted this
Housing Forum event, particularly given its
focus on the future of energy, commented
Martyn Bridges, director of technical
communication and product management at
Worcester Bosch.
“While there is a lot of work to be done,
events such as this are crucial to facilitate
healthy debate and innovation across the
sector. The way we heat our homes is a huge
part of this strategy to ensure quality of
housing that is both sustainable and practical
for end users.”
The Future of Fuel is now available
to download at worcester-bosch.co.uk/

Results from the call for evidence as to A
framework for heat in buildings is expected
to be published shortly.
