abstract={If the UK is to meet its Net Zero targets so as to have sufficient impact on reducing climate change, the ~10\% to 20\% of UK greenhouse gas emissions from home heating will need to be minimised or eliminated. This paper takes a quick snapshot of the UK in 2023 and estimates the number of already-standing homes that will need their current gas-fired wet (radiator-based) heating systems retrofitted by 2050, and some hard-to-treat cases. This snapshot also briefly drills down via England to the suburb of London (Kingston) where the author lives. In practice it appears that virtually all of these gas-boiler homes could have their space heating electrified with heat pumps to good climate effect.},
