热泵是政府承诺到 2050 年英国实现净零排放的关键部分，这意味着不会再向大气中排放更多温室气

体。目前，家庭供暖占英国碳排放量的 14%。

周四公布的数据显示了自 2022 年 5 月该计划启动以来发放的赠款数据，一天前，英国气候监管机构

表示政府“严重偏离轨道”。该计划持续到 2028 年。

英国气候变化委员会（UKCCC）强调热泵成本高、受过培训的热泵安装人员数量少以及缺乏有助于提
高热泵效率的隔热等能效措施，是安装率低的主要原因。

由于去年未发放赠款而剩下的 7000 万英镑不能用于未来几年的赠款，现在将退还给财政部。

负责该计划的能源安全和净零部发言人表示：“业界报告的询问数量有所增加，我们相信随着时间
的推移，部署将会增加。”

二月份，上议院委员会对该计划表现不佳表示担忧。政府回应称，将发起一场营销活动来推广该计
划。
据称，在开展该活动的前 14 天里，gov.uk 页面的点击量比前 14 天增加了 62%。但政府自己的数据显
示，自三月份以来发放的代金券数量有所下降。据称，政府打算在今年晚些时候进行更广泛的推广。

为了实现英国的气候变化目标，政府希望在五年内每年安装 60 万台低碳热泵——目前的安装率约为
这一数字的九分之一。
