Fascinating insights into the possible barriers, on supply and demand sides, to faster heat pump adoption. Plus suggestions for policy options to overcome those barriers.
Press release: SEAI launches new behavioral research on heat pump adoption in ‘heat pump ready’ oil-heated homes at #SEAIEnergyShow. Research shows homeowners willing to switch to heat pumps but only when their current system needs replacing seai.ie/news-and-media/heatp…
Enjoyed chatting to @DanielTMurray on the #fivedegreesofchange podcast. Hard to narrow down to five priorities for climate action, we’ve so much to do, but it really helped focus the mind! @SEAI_ie
New #fivedegreesofchange episode with Margie McCarthy of the SEAI, chatting fossil fuel subsidies, fast fashion; bringing the public along for climate action, playing catch-up on district heating; and the toxic nature of online climate discourse.

Great article @HannahEDaly
Changing our perspective on climate costs
🚨 New column:
A cynic is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. While the discourse on climate action tends to focus on the upfront cost and disruption, it often ignores the enormous cost of the status quo.

.@MMCJoyce from @SEAI_ie discussing how at the moment, Ireland is dependent on burning fossil fuels to meet 94% of our heating needs & what we need to do to address this at our annual #districtheating conference this morning.
If you want to feel like you’re away on a sunny, light filled holiday, go visit this exhibition of Lavery’s work. A feast for the eyes @NGIreland
Lavery on Location opens @NGIreland today. It reveals an artist of infinite variety and humanity who never stopped experimenting - and who loved life. Congratulations to Kenneth McConkey and Brendan Rooney who have curated it.
