There *has* to be a ban on the installation of gas appliances in new buildings.
In existing smaller residential buildings, there has to be government support for swapping gas water, heating, and cooking appliances for electric.
In larger buildings, swapping gas boilers for electric heat pumps is more challenging, and often involves structural works. Again, government subsidies can help make it happen.
The most challenging piece is industry. But here, a strong industry plan and subsidies can transition heavy industry from toxic methane gas to green hydrogen.
It's challenging, yes, but it can be done.
