Roundtable: Consumers and Low Carbon Heat

This is an evidence session for Carbon Connect’s inquiry Future Gas Series – Part 3: Consumers and the Future of Heat.

It will consider current perceptions and attitudes of consumers towards heat; how consumers can be engaged with heat, both to encourage lower carbon behvaiours and to increase acceptance of new technologies; who should have the responsibility of engaging consumers in a low carbon transition; and how a transition to low carbon heat can tie in with the public’s wider concerns about the energy system, including transparency, fairness and affordability.
