🎉 It’s Heat Trust’s ninth birthday! Since our scheme’s launch on 25 Nov 2015, we’ve grown from protecting 15,000 heat network consumers to 85,000 today. We’re very proud of how our small non-profit organisation has paved the way for future @ofgem regulation of #heatnetworks.

More than 90% of new Euro 6 diesels on sale today that don’t meet the EU emission limits on the road are still exempt from low emission zones or #diesel bans in European cities. These diesels still exceed the nitrogen oxides (NOx) limit by 4 to 5 times. https://t.co/Re8p5OET4a
