The Net Zero Home

This course reviews the strategic competitive advantage of renewable liquid fuels and energy efficiency as a proven renewable and sustainable pathway to decarbonization. It compares various methods and costs per home to achieve net zero carbon with alternatives including deep energy retrofits, electric heat pumps combined with solar photovoltaics, offshore wind, battery backup, hybrid liquid fuel heating systems, and more. It also reviews the long term impact of increasing Bioheat blend levels and “the benefit of acting sooner” as a complementary strategy to electrification alone.
