Roll out company mandates to scale up low-carbon heating value chains

To ensure availability of low-carbon heating systems for consumers, governments should roll out company mandates to scale up low-carbon heating value chains. For example, regulators could mandate that manufacturers of heating systems have a quota of sales coming from low-carbon heating solutions. Such supply-side mandates worked well in Europe to transition automakers into scaling EV production and sales. Effective mandates should include a penalty for non-compliance and become more stringent over time, to provide a long-term signal for manufacturers to invest in low-carbon heating development and the associated value chains.
