The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial
Strategy has published a synthesis report drawing together
findings from a survey and deliberative workshops on the
transition to low-carbon heating in Britain.
The synthesis report draws together the findings from
Phases 1 and 2 of the Future of heat project, which
examined public views on the transition to low-carbon
heating in Britain. It draws together insight from both
phases of the research to summarise the key conclusions
to the research questions.
Phase 1
Phase 1 involved a survey conducted in May 2019 of a
general GB population sample of 2907 adults. The survey
asked questions to assess:
- current levels of public awareness and
understanding
- levels of support for a transition
- attitudes towards low-carbon heating among people
living in homes off the gas grid using high carbon
technology
- which sources the public currently trust to provide
information and advice
Phase 2
Phase 2 involved 4 deliberative workshops with 134
participants in England, Scotland and Wales in January
and February 2020, commissioned jointly by
BEIS and the Scottish Government. The purpose of
the workshops was to explore attitudes to the heating
transition in greater depth and identify drivers of
some of these views.
