Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have a preferred alternative source of fuel for domestic central heating of homes not on the gas grid.

The Clean Growth Strategy committed Government to phase out the use of fossil fuel heating in all buildings off the gas grid. Last year we engaged widely with industry and consumers to gather evidence to inform policy decisions. Respondents felt that it was highly likely that a range of technologies would be needed and that there was no single solution that would be appropriate for all buildings.
