About this episode

Ireland is significantly behind its targets for decarbonising home heating, according to the latest report from the ESRI. In 2024, deep retrofits reached just 11.5 per cent of its 2030 goal, while heat pump installation targets reached just 3.5 per cent. 

Anton discusses these findings with Muireann Lynch, Energy Economist, ESRI.
