Energy Act Anniversary

As part of a nationwide demonstration project, around 150 properties from homes, schools, churches to village pubs were converted from kerosene to HVO. It’s been an overwhelming success. Carbon emissions were reduced by 88% and the conversion only required a small, low cost modification to the boiler which only takes a few hours.

For rural households who can’t afford a heat pump, or would need to undertake significant disruptive changes to their property for the technology to work effectively, we believe HVO is an ideal alternative. Our survey of oil heated households have shown over 90% support for this approach. Fundamentally, it’s about giving consumers a choice. We all want to play our part and transition onto low carbon heating, but the options available must be affordable and practical.

How you can help us secure government support for a HVO rollout

You can make a difference. If you want the choice of switching to HVO, please add your voice by writing to your local MP, and the Minister in charge of clean heat, Miatta Fahnbulleh, using the letter we have prepared.

Your support has already made a huge difference – please help us take this next step.
