Clean heat for homes – securing a just energy transition to reduce the EU’s legacy reliance on wood burning
Fossil-free citiesWe are now in the cold months of the year, and home-heating is a crucial concern. Against a backdrop of volatile and high fossil fuel costs, more and more households are resorting to a sometimes cheaper yet polluting alternative for heating their homes: wood burning.
Accelerating residential heating decarbonisation is urgent. To highlight this burning issue, Cool Heating Coalition next policy event in the European Parliament, “Clean heat for homes – securing a just energy transition to reduce the EU’s legacy reliance on wood burning,” will take place on 18 February 2025. Organised alongside coalition member Fern, and hosted by MEPs Sigrid Friis (Renew, Denmark) and Ville Ninistöö (Greens, Finland), they’ll be talking about a just transition in the heating sector and ways to support EU residents to access clean and affordable home heating.
