温哥华市议会对扭转2022年新住宅天然气禁令的投票,影响气候目标。 Vancouver City Council votes on reversing a 2022 ban on natural gas in new homes, impacting climate goals.
温哥华市议会定于11月26日就是否改变该市自2022年以来实行的禁止天然气供新独立住宅取暖和热水的政策进行投票。 Vancouver City Council is set to vote on November 26 on whether to change the city's policy that bans natural gas for heating and hot water in new detached homes, in place since 2022. 一份工作人员报告建议允许用于空间供暖和热水的天然气,同时采用零碳合规选项。 A staff report recommends allowing natural gas for space heating and hot water, alongside a zero-carbon compliance option. 虽然这将使建筑商具有更大的灵活性,但它可能增加碳排放量,使城市更难实现2030年气候目标。 While this could give builders more flexibility, it may increase carbon emissions and make it harder to meet the city's 2030 climate targets.
