Part 4: New Technology Chapter 1: Low-Carbon Heat Schemes Section 145: Setting of targets etc
Building on section 144, this section makes further provision in relation to how targets for a scheme may be set in or under the regulations. In particular, it provides for targets to vary for different low-carbon heating technologies or for different weightings to be given to how different technologies or activities meet the targets.
	This would allow, for example, for standalone electric heat pumps to be treated differently under the scheme from hybrid heat pumps that incorporate or operate in conjunction with a fossil fuel combustion appliance, for example: a ‘0.5’ weighting for a hybrid system that comprises a heat pump and a fossil fuel boiler.
