Great Britain has begun a transformation to a low carbon heat system, launching the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in 2011 and further implementing RHI in the domestic sector in 2014. A large proportion of applicants are located in regions with large rural areas such as Scotland and the South West. Both regions had applications and accreditations exceeding 11 thousand units. This trend is likely to be attributable to the fact that many rural areas are not on the gas grid, and will be replacing solid fuel or oil burning systems with systems powered by renewable sources of energy, such as air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, biomass and solar thermal systems.
