About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

A collaboration between Nesta and the Energy Saving Trust

To reduce carbon emissions from home heating, we need to shift away from gas and oil boilers towards low-carbon technologies such as heat pumps. Heat pumps are relatively novel technologies to the UK market and innovation is needed to mature the market and make heat pump adoption easier and cheaper for householders.
