The

main

challenge

is

that

these

reductions

in

fossil

fuel

use

and

related

greenhouse

gas

emissionsmust

happen

soon.

Taking

the

energy

scenarios

together

with

the

envelope

renovation

ambition

in

theRenovation

Wave

strategy,

we

have

projected

the

necessary

evolution

of

heating

in

buildings

to

meet

our2030

climate

goals.

Our

analysis

quantifies

the

steps

needed

to

support

the

conclusion

of

the

RenovationWavestrategythatfossilfuels

willdisappearfrom

heatingand

cooling.As

mentioned

in

the

Renovation

Wave

strategy,

the

EU

will

at

least

double

the

annual

energy

renovation

rateof

buildings

by

2030.

On

the

basis

of

our

analysis,

we

conclude

that

envelope

renovation

rates

may

need

tobe

differentiated

based

on

the

carbon

intensity

of

heating

systems.

Before

2030,

envelope

renovation

ratesneed

to

increase

from

around

1.3%

currently

to

2.0%

for

dwellings

with

non-fossil

fuel

heating,

to

2.5%

fordwellings

currently

using

natural

gas

and

to

3.3%

for

dwellings

currently

using

oil

and

coal.

After

2030,

theprojectedenveloperenovationratecouldexceed5%fordwellings

improvements

are

mainly

to

the

thermal

integrity

of

buildings,

a

reduction

in

heat

demand

of

around

15%can

be

achieved

by

2030.

However,

the

reduction

of

oil

use

needs

to

be

four

times

as

high

(-60%),

andnatural

gas

use

twice

as

high

(-30%),

so

envelope

renovations

need

to

be

complemented

with

renovationsthatdecarboniseheatingsystems,switching

themawayfrom

fossilfuel.Our

study

quantifies

the

extent

of

renovation

needed

for

switching

heating

systems

from

fossil

fuels

to

low-carbon

alternatives.

By

2030,

at

least

40

million

existing

dwellings

should

switch

their

fossil

fuel

boilers

tolow

carbon

heating

alternatives,

mostly

heat

pumps.

In

the

period

2026-2030,

our

analysis

shows

thatrenovations

would

need

to

introduce

low-carbon

heating

systems

into

an

average

2.5%

of

stock

every

year.More

than3%ofdwellingscurrentlyusingnaturalgaswouldneedtoswitchfuel,onaverage,

For

dwellings

currently

using

oil

and

coal,

the

switch

rate

would

need

to

be

more

than

7%.

For

oil,

therequired

rate

is

double

the

currently

observed

rate

of

replacement

which

includes

today’s

like-with-likereplacements

(e.g.

summaryThe

aim

of

this

report

is

to

clarify

some

of

the

challenges

related

to

reducing

the

consumption

of

fossil

fuelsin

buildings.

Large

reductions

of

fossil

fuel

use

are

to

happen

soon

and

will

require

a

fundamental

change

inhow

people

think

about

renovations

in

buildings.

EU

policies

already

put

the

emphasis

on

spurring

renewableenergy

sources

in

combination

with

measures

that

reduce

energy

demand

with

improvements

to

buildingenvelopes.

However,the

decarbonisationof

heatsupply

involvesmuchmore

thanadding

renewableenergy

tobuildings

and

will

require

switching

our

heating

systems

away

from

fossil

fuels.

This

was

an

issue

whichreceived

little

attention

before

the

EU

declared

its

ambition

to

achieve

climate

neutrality.

In

other

words,enveloperenovations

aremainstream,butrenovations

whichswitch

tolow-carbonheating

are

not.Our

study

quantifies

the

extent

of

renovation

needed

for

switching

heating

systems

from

fossil

fuels

to

low-carbon

alternatives,

both

in

terms

of

technology

scale-up

and

investment.

Our

starting

point

is

the

reductionof

fossil

fuel

use

averaged

from

a

wide

range

of

energy

scenarios

whose

goal

is

a

reduction

of

around

55%in

greenhouse

gas

emissions

by

2030

compared

to

1990,

and

climate

neutrality

by

2050.

After

that,

wecreate

renovation

scenarios

that

assume

a

gradual

uptake

of

envelope

renovation

rates

from

around

1.3%today

to

a

level

of

2.5%

of

the

dwelling

stock

(equivalent

to

a

weighted

annual

reduction

of

demand

forheating

of

1.6%).

Based

on

this,

we

analyse

the

In

with

the

aim

of

the

Directives

(EPBD,

REDII,

EED)

and

theRenovation

wave

to

combine

envelope

improvements

with

increased

use

of

renewable

heating

sources,

wehave

reached

thefollowingkey

conclusions.—

For

2030,

energy

scenarios

project

reductions

of

oil

and

gas

that

are,

respectively,

four

times

and

twiceas

high

as

that

which

can

be

reached

with

ENVELOPE

ONLY

renovations

(which

only

improve

the

thermalintegrity

of

buildings),

even

if

we

rapidly

increase

the

annual

envelope

renovation

rate

from

around

1.3%today

to

2.5%

of

the

stock.

Though

extremely

important,

envelope

renovations

fall

short

of

achievingthese

reductions

and

need

to

be

complemented

with

renovations

that

decarbonise

heating

systems,switching

them

away

from

fossil

fuel.

Our

analysis

projects

that

in

the

period

2026-2030,

the

annualrate

of

renovations

that

switch

fuel

to

low-carbon

heating

systems

(HEATING

ONLY

and

COMBINED)shouldreach2.5%ofthestock.—

Many

studies

only

discuss

ENVELOPE

ONLY

renovations

without

reference

to

renovating

heating

systems.Our

analysissuggests,

however,that

policiesontheintelligentreplacement

of

heating

systems

should

begiven

prominence,

because

the

largest

impact

on

CO

reduction

is

made

by

converting

fossil

fuel

heating2systems,

mostly

to

efficient

heat

pumps2.

Other

important

options

are

district

heat,

biomass

(but

Discussions

about

renovations

should

explicitly

mention

the

nature

of

the

renovations

considered.Sometimes

energy

renovations

only

refer

to

envelope

renovations,

sometimes

they

also

includereplacements

of

heating

equipment.

Our

analysis

differentiates

three

groups

of

renovations:

ENVELOPEONLY

renovations,

HEATING

ONLY

renovations

and

COMBINED

renovations

that

combine

both.

ENVELOPEONLY

renovations

only

improve

the

thermal

integrity

of

buildings,

and

HEATING

ONLY

affect

the

heatingsystem

while

COMBINED

renovations

improve

the

energy

demand

while

also

fully

decarbonising

theheating

system.

Full

decarbonisation

of

the

heating

system

is

assumed

for

HEATING

ONLY

andCOMBINEDrenovations.—One

of

the

main

objectives

of

the

Renovation

Wave

strategy

is

‘to

at

least

double

the

annual

energyrenovation

rate

of

residential

and

non-residential

buildings

by

2030

and

to

foster

deep

energyrenovations.’

The

strategyisintendedto

mobilise‘forcesatalllevelstowards

these

goals’that

‘willresultin

35

million

building

units

renovated

by

2030.’

We

confirm

the

importance

of

envelope

renovations

in

atleast

35

million

dwellings

by

2030.

We

also

confirm

the

strategy’s

conclusion

that

‘fossil

fuels

willgradually

disappear

from

heating

and

cooling.’

In

the

scenario

Fit

for

55

REG,

41

million

houses

areprojected

to

have

a

heat

pump

as

heating

equipment

by

2030

(European

Commission,

2021f).

Ouranalysis

providessimilardataonrenovationsthatinvolve

(fuel).Itshowsthatin

the

period

2022-2030,

low-carbon

heating

should

replace

the

heating

system

in

more

than

15

milliondwellings

(about

half)

which

currently

use

or

and

in

around

25

million

dwellings

(one

in

using

In

total,

at

40

million

existing

dwellings

should

switch

their

fossil

fuelboilers

to

low

carbon

heating

alternatives

by

2030

(see

Table

1).

When

installing

hybrid

technologies(with

an

electric

heat

as

well

as

a

fossil

boiler),

the

number

Complying

with

Renewable

Directive

Article

7,

Calculation

of

the

share

of

energy

from

renewable

sources

(HPmethodologyinAnnex

VIIof

RED).6—

We

note

that

problems

can

arise

in

the

decarbonisation

of

dwellings

which

use

oil

or

coal.

Compared

todwellings

heated

by

natural

gas,

a

higher

rate

of

heating

system

renovations

is

needed

to

guarantee

aphase-out

of

oil

and

coal

before

2040,

as

depicted

in

the

energy

scenarios.

There

is

also

a

higher

rate

ofenvelope

renovation

because

it

makes

poor

economic

sense

to

switch

fuel

first

and

insulate

afterwards3.The

main

problem

is

that

the

replacement

rate

of

7%

for

dwellings

with

oil

in

the

years

before

2030

isvery

high

(upper

right

panel

in

Figure

2).

This

rate

is

double

the

default

rate

of

replacement

historically4,andcalls

foraction

beyondthephasing

out

ofnewoilor

coalheatingdevices.

Forthis

particular

problem,additional

efforts

are

needed

to

investigate

options

for

incentivising

the

replacement

of

fossil

fuel-basedheating

devices

even

if

theyhavenotyetreachedtheir

end

oflife.—

For

natural

gas,

the

switch

rate

is

3.2%,

allowing

for

only

a

marginal

share

of

replacements

to

be

newgas

boilers.

This

will

have

a

major

impact

on

the

gas

boiler

market.

In

our

analysis,

the

annualreplacement

of

gas

boilers

with

new

gas

boilers

is

reduced

from

3.7

million

per

year

today

to

around

1.1million

by

2025

(see

Figure

3).

This

can

only

occur

if

the

low-carbon

heating

technology

market

growsfastenoughtosupplytheremaining

2.6millionreplacements.—

Our

analysis

reduces

uncertainty

about

the

speed

with

which

the

EU

needs

to

change

its

fuel

mix

inbuildings.

If

renovation

actions

are

delayed

and

only

start

totake

effect

in

2026,

the

risk

is

that

the

totalrenovation

rate

(ENVELOPE

ONLY,

HEATING

ONLY

and

COMBINED)

would

need

to

increase

too

quickly,

toat

least

5%

for

residential

buildings

currently

fuelled

by

gas

(compared

to

1.3%

of

medium

and

deeprenovations

ofthestocktoday,

seeFigure

2).—

Our

results

should

encourage

people

to

think

hard

about

new

heating

equipment

if

we

want

to

reach

ourclimate

targets.

Even

when

considering

state-of-the-art

technology,

the

replacement

of

fossil

fuel

boilersby

newer

fossil

fuel

boilers

should

be

discontinued

as

soon

as

possible

for

oil,

and

between

2025

and2030

for

natural

gas,

where

possible.

To

tackle

this

problem,

we

propose

an

increase

in

efforts

toharmonise

technology

options

with

the

2030

climate

ambition.

These

findings

could

have

policyconsequences,

for

example,

on

Ecodesign

and

Labelling

standards

for

new

heating

systems

or

fornationalmeasures,supporting

thephase-outoffossil-fuel

boilers.—

Our

analysis

gives

a

new

perspective

on

ENVELOPE

ONLY

decrease

strongly

for

becauseof

two

mechanisms(see

First,

have

after

These

will

need

a

COMBINED

because

of

the

need

to

systems,

with

or

without

renovation.

Second,the

required

decarbonisation

rate

of

systems

is

so

high

that

any
