EHPA: EU deal sets path to heat decarbonization

EU negotiators reached a deal tonight to phase out fossil fuel boilers in all buildings by 2040. If this is reflected in the final text, it is a major step towards the decarbonisation of heating.
 
The agreement on the EU’s ‘Energy Performance of Buildings’ law mandates zero emissions from fossil fuels for all new buildings by 2030, and for all buildings by 2050.
