Details

BEIS commissioned Element Energy to carry out a study analysing the options for off-gas grid homes to switch to direct electric heating systems, including:

• electric panel heaters
• storage heaters
• electric boilers
• radiant/infra-red heating

Heat pumps are excluded from this study, but we have published a complementary study on heat pumps.

BEIS commissioned NNFCC to carry out a study analysing the options for off-gas grid homes to switch to bioenergy based heating systems. This covers:

• bio-liquid and bio-LPG boilers

It excludes solid biomass boilers.
