Government needs to accelerate its efforts to reduce reliance on gas boilers and dramatically improve the energy efficiency of buildings in order to meet its 2050 emission targets of an 80% cut compared to 1990 levels. Recommends nationwide programmes to install biomass, district heating, and solar thermal systems and concludes that many heat pumps fail to deliver promised carbon savings in practice.
