USING BIOFUELS TO TRANSITION AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS FOR HEATING
Overview
As a region with over 62% of homes reliant on heating oil, and many businesses using liquid fossil fuels as a primary means of heat, the need for viable, sustainable alternatives is pressing. While technologies like heat pumps are vital for the long-term decarbonisation of heating, renewable liquid biofuels like HVO and bioLPG may offer an important transitionary option, where low carbon technologies like heat pumps and heat networks are not currently suitable or practicable.
The call for evidence is seeking information and views to understand the opportunities, challenges and potential risks associated with using biofuels for heating. The Department is particularly interested in how biofuels can complement other low-carbon heating solutions.
Why your views matter
DfE recognises the broad range of stakeholders, each of whom may have unique perspectives and insights to offer on specific topics.
We invite stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, including health, consumers and consumer advocates, academia and researchers, industry experts, policymakers, and environmental advocates, to contribute their knowledge and experiences.
Respondents are not required to answer all the questions we’ve asked and, to help readers to understand the specific areas or topics being addressed, we’ve broken down the CfE into five chapters to encourage respondents to provide focused and relevant information.
