Net zero

Does switching to electric heating count towards net zero?

Yes. The Church of England counts electricity from the national grid as net zero compatible because the grid is decarbonising. Any fully electric heating system, whether infrared, heat pumps, panel heaters, storage heaters or underfloor, counts as net zero under the current framework.

Gas, oil and biomass systems do not qualify, even if the boiler is highly efficient. Biomass is classed as renewable but not zero-carbon because combustion still produces CO2 and particulates. If your church is on a fossil fuel system and net zero matters to your plans, the replacement needs to be all-electric.
