abstract
The Mayor of London has set ambitious aims for London to be a net zero carbon city by 2030 and to have the best air quality of any major city. In addition, 28 London Boroughs have declared climate emergencies with over half of these committed to achieving net zero by 2030. The political will to deliver net zero carbon emissions in London has never been stronger. Reducing emissions from heat is London's biggest decarbonisation challenge. Natural gas (primarily used for space and water heating) accounts for 37% of London's greenhouse gas emissions and 22% of NOx emissions. Conventional electric heating also contributes significantly to CO2 emissions and increases the peak demand on local energy networks.
