Fascinating insights into the possible barriers, on supply and demand sides, to faster heat pump adoption. Plus suggestions for policy options to overcome those barriers.
Press release: SEAI launches new behavioral research on heat pump adoption in ‘heat pump ready’ oil-heated homes at #SEAIEnergyShow. Research shows homeowners willing to switch to heat pumps but only when their current system needs replacing https://t.co/jtUveohW1a

Enjoyed chatting to @DanielTMurray on the #fivedegreesofchange podcast. Hard to narrow down to five priorities for climate action, we’ve so much to do, but it really helped focus the mind! @SEAI_ie
New #fivedegreesofchange episode with Margie McCarthy of the SEAI, chatting fossil fuel subsidies, fast fashion; bringing the public along for climate action, playing catch-up on district heating; and the toxic nature of online climate discourse. https://t.co/mB5Igv6Tb9

Great article @HannahEDaly Changing our perspective on climate costs
🚨 New column: A cynic is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. While the discourse on climate action tends to focus on the upfront cost and disruption, it often ignores the enormous cost of the status quo. https://t.co/MTCCBH7zbS

Wasteful energy usage noted as carbon emissions falling too slowly @SEAI_ie
irishtimes.com
In 2022 transport energy demand rebounded to 95% of pre-Covid levels, with data from January to September of this year pointing to continuing rebounds in petrol, diesel, and jet kerosene demand

“Despite all the evidence, we are not yet acting in line with what climate science tells us, that we are living through a #ClimateEmergency " @MMCJoyce on why we need systemic change as well as individual action to reduce energy emissions asap https://t.co/GSgT2GmPhW

Energy emissions dropped slightly last year but are still not falling quickly enough to comply with national limits, according to the SEAI.
