Star Renewable Energy has urged energy customers to invest in renewable heating technology before the Renewable Heat Incentive ceases in five years’ time. The heat pump firm said that energy users should invest in renewable heating technologies before government incentives to support their uptake ends. Star Renewable Energy (SRE) claimed that large heatpumps are the only scalable renewable heat system capable of becoming zero carbon by 2050. SRE technical engineer Nicky Cowan said: “Proven renewable heating technologies that avoid burning gas, particularly large district heat pumps, are becoming one of the most talked about topics for governments and increasingly recognised as the best way to combat climate change. “According to the Committee on Climate Change, heating may have to almost fully decarbonise if the UK is to hit its long-term goal of an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050.”
