How green is your boiler? The UK has committed to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by almost 80 percent by 2035, compared with 1990 levels. But forget recycling, composting and switching your diesel car to electric – a huge amount of UK CO2 emissions come from heating our homes.

CGTN Europe spoke to Martyn Bridges, marketing director at one of the biggest suppliers of gas boilers, Worcester Bosch, and Jan Rosenow who is a director for the non-governmental organization dedicated to accelerating the transition to a clean, reliable and efficient energy, known as the Regulatory Assistance Project.
