What is also missing in these reports is any mention of a programme to insulate the millions of draughty homes. The need for saving carbon emissions goes hand in hand with improving energy efficiency. You can't do one without the other Boris Johnson will release his new Heat and Buildings Strategy next week and is expected to deliver a green industrial revolution for England. Nearly six in 10 people have either never heard of a heat pump - an electrified low-carbon heating technology that will be needed in most homes in a net-zero world - or know almost nothing about them, research by the Institute for Public Policy Research has found. A renewable technology alternative could be green gas, providing 100% clean power to homes without the need to get rid of boilers. "The alternative method is to switch to green gas, which is in turn produced by the farm. He said: We don't need to change any gas mains infrastructure.

He added: Switching to green gas would transform the rural economy, creating tens of thousands of sustainable farming jobs, just as EU subsidies come to an end.
