Video | Heating decarbonisation in buildings
Policymakers must step up and deliver on climate targets by phasing out the installation of new fossil fuel boilers in the EU by 2030. Learn how in the new ECOS (Environmental Coalition on Standards) video.
Did you know that a staggering 85% of the energy consumed in our homes is used for heating and cooling? With 75% of that coming from fossil fuels, it pollutes as much as all the cars in the EU.
But there’s a solution at our fingertips. By swiftly phasing out the installation of new fossil fuel boilers, remarkable results could be achieved:
Cut carbon emissions from EU buildings by 46%
Reduce the EU’s dependence on external energy sources
Create 3 million new jobs
Stimulate a 2.5% growth in annual GDP
Slash household heating bills by an average of 860 euros per year
The Environmental Coalition on Standards (ECOS) presents a short video, picturing why heat pumps and other renewable solutions can help decarbonise the built environment.
