But it is worse than late, it is much too little. For a flagship strategy, designed to move the entire British population from gas-fired boilers to renewable energy boilers by 2035, it concentrates on the air-source heat pump as the solution. Grants of £5,000 per household are offered to support the change. However, for a typical three-bedroomed house currently using gas for its central heating, the costs of converting to a heat pump to replace the traditional gas boiler are £15-20,000.

Green Angel Syndicate is one of the largest angel syndicates in the UK, and the only one specialising in the fight against climate change.

PRESS RELEASE More Good Intentions? On Tuesday this week, UK Government published its first Hydrogen Strategy, in a Policy Paper which has been greeted with a fanfare of publicity.
There is no doubt that hydrogen is capable of playing a key role in the battle against climate change. This observation, however, has been available to all for more than a decade. Why has it taken so long to translate an observation into a policy?

By Lorne Milne For years, the carbon offsetting industry has been marred with problems, particularly to do with greenwashing to the extent that many consider the term offset to be a dirty word. In principle, the concept is straightforward; individuals or companies neutralise the carbon they were responsible for putting into the atmosphere while simultaneously reducing their emissions. In writing this blog, I hoped to shed light on some of the problems plaguing the industry and propose how I believe we go forward from here.
