In order to reach the ambitious climate action targets, it is going to be a case of every shoulder to the wheel. Many householders have raised with me that they want to play their role but they are finding it difficult. It is more than just insulation and they want to be able to change the heating system in their homes despite the cost of it. There is a real opportunity staring us in the face with regard to HVO fuel replacing fossil fuels. Unfortunately, there is a policy choice whereby HVO fuel is being steered more towards transport rather than domestic householders. This needs to be revisited so that, at a minimal cost, householders across the country would be able to access HVO fuel for domestic heating and be able to play their part. Can this be reviewed so HVO fuel is used in domestic households?
