In Vancouver, where 54% of CO2 emissions is natural gas use in buildings, the City has recently banned natural gas use in new building construction, however they did leave the door open to allowing natural gas use for cooking and fireplace. I suppose the dominant amount of CO2 is coming from water heating and home heating.
Perhaps there are some allowances for restaurants as well. I think that would make sense to me.
I recall reading at the time when these policies were announced that home builders felt that it would be pretty bad with money for a home to pay for a gas hookup purely for cooking, so in the future the only people that would probably do it would be rich cooking enthusiasts that have money to throw away. Regular people would probably decline gas altogether.
(Personally when my ancient gas stove recently broke I replaced it with a new induction stove and I'm finding it exceptionally great)
- wrycoder 4y agoDoes that include the CO2 from power generation?
- brewdad 4y agoIt is far easier and cheaper to capture CO2 emissions at the generation source than at each single point of use. Longer term, we build a cleaner grid.
