National Heat Study

The National Heat Study provides a comprehensive assessment of the options available to decarbonise Ireland's energy used for heating and cooling homes, businesses and industry.

Study shows excessive dependence on fossil fuels for heating as emissions continue to rise.

Urgency to deliver climate targets for heating necessitates fast deployment of technologies available today.

A combination of district heating and heat pumps in homes, businesses and industry will play a vital role in fast decarbonisation.
