… solution; one has firm plans for a combined air/ground/water source heat pump system. To reach net zero, almost all of Liverpool’s addresses will need to have a decarbonised heating supply. This means replacing the heating systems in almost all of the 275,000 addresses. Table 1: Current heating in Liverpool Sector Buildings Heat GWh -> gas -> electricity tCO2 gas tCO2 electricity tCO2 total…
… make it possible to install heat pump systems which are more efficient when they can deliver heat at a lower temperature. AIM AIM 2 Replace gas heating systems in all buildings Gas-fired heating systems must all be replaced with a zero-carbon alternative to achieve the required decarbonisation of space and water heating. Consistent with the principles set out above, this must be done…
