The UK government’s Warm Homes Plan (WHP) promotes a 'heat pump first' strategy, moving away from the previous fabric-first approach. This shift raises concerns for rural communities, where older homes may not easily adopt heat pumps due to insulation and installation issues.

A consultation on alternative clean heating solutions is ongoing, closing on February 10. Calor advocates for the inclusion of Renewable Liquid Gases (RLGs) like BioLPG in the WHP, highlighting their compatibility with existing systems and substantial carbon savings. The government is encouraged to develop a Renewable Liquid Heating Fuel Obligation to support rural households in their transition to low-carbon heating.
