This number will then have to rise to 1.5m by 2035.<\/p>\n<p>If achieved, these numbers could contribute to a fully decarbonised housing stock by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the budget calls for an increase in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/insulation-key-to-low-carbon-heating-systems-by-2028\/161521\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">home insulation<\/a>, including insulating hot water tanks, draught-proofing, additional loft insulation, and cavity wall insulation. Loft insulation will be installed in 9% of homes with lofts, and cavity wall insulation will be installed in 16% of homes with cavity walls, meaning that all homes with lofts and 87% of homes with cavity walls will have insulation by the mid-2030s.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe budget will strengthen UK competitiveness in a low-carbon world\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Nigel Topping CMG, Chair of the Climate Change Committee, commented: \u201cI warmly welcome Parliament\u2019s decision to pass the Seventh Carbon Budget into law. It\u2019s a decisive moment that provides the long-term certainty that businesses, investors, and communities need to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy setting an ambitious but achievable target for emissions reduction, this legislation will help unlock innovation, drive clean investment, and strengthen the UK\u2019s competitiveness in a low-carbon world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we set out today in our latest progress report on reducing emissions, accelerating electrification across the economy is critical. The government must turn this commitment into action at pace so we can realise the economic, environmental, and societal benefits available to us all.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe seventh Carbon Budget must be treated as a national infrastructure plan\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Steve Gummer, head of net zero at Sharpe Pritchard, stated: \u201cThe Seventh Carbon Budget is important because investors, developers and public authorities need statutory certainty. But a target is not a delivery plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe next phase has to be treated as a national infrastructure programme: faster consenting, bankable revenue models, clearer grid access, more storage and flexibility, and anticipatory investment in transmission and distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MPs have approved the UK\u2019s seventh Carbon Budget, which is designed to reduce emissions by 87% from 1990 levels by 2040.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":163184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[145559,276,173211,586],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-163183","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-energy-news","8":"tag-emissions","9":"tag-government","10":"tag-heat-pumps","11":"tag-insulation"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Industry welcomes the passing of the UK\u2019s seventh Carbon Budget<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"MPs have approved the UK\u2019s seventh Carbon Budget, which is designed to reduce emissions by 87% from 1990 levels by 2040\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/industry-welcomes-passing-of-uks-seventh-carbon-budget\/163183\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Industry welcomes the passing of the UK\u2019s seventh Carbon Budget\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"MPs have approved the UK\u2019s seventh Carbon Budget, which is designed to reduce emissions by 87% from 1990 levels by 2040\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/industry-welcomes-passing-of-uks-seventh-carbon-budget\/163183\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
