Almost half of the final energy consumed in the UK is to provide heat (760 TWh) …(per year)…
– more than that used to produce electricity or for transport. Around 57% of this heat (434 TWh) goes towards meeting the space and water heating requirements of our homes. This means that decarbonising domestic buildings, many of which are connected to the gas grid, forms a key part of the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. At approximately 300GW, aggregate peak demand.. … (In winter)…
