Green heat - a challenge for training occupations?

Heat provision is about to change radically. From 2024 onwards, at least 65 percent of the energy used by future heating systems will need to come from renewable sources. Gas and oil-fired systems are on the way out. Heating engineering, the gas grid and occupations relating to improving the energy efficiency of buildings will all play a key part in this shift. There are many ways of generating internal heating in a way which lessens its carbon footprint. This article offers a more detailed presentation of heat pumps and of hydrogen combustion in heating systems and also considers possible implications for occupational profiles and for the tasks performed by skilled workers.
