Renewable heat 'can boost jobs by 23,000 and save €1bn a year by 2030'

A ground source heat pump fuelled by an array of pipes buried in the earth. This system, with a sip of electricity, delivers consistent, comfortable warmth to the emitters (UFH and radiators) and domestic hot water year round indoors.

Producing 40% of our heat through renewable sources by 2030 will create an estimated 23,000 jobs and save €1bn annually on importing fuel, a new report has found.

Renewable Energy Ireland (REI) published a roadmap that outlines pathways through which the State can decarbonise the heat system.
