Foreword
Heating homes and buildings accounts for huge amounts of the energy we use in the UK. Utilising excess heat where it is generated can reduce demand on the broader energy system, which helps to alleviate some of the pressure on our networks to become net-zero. District heating is a means of providing low-carbon heating to homes and buildings, typically utilising excess heat from nearby industry. The excess heat is distributed through highly insulated pipes and often able to connect a large area, bringing financial benefits to the local community through reduced fuel bills along with the environmental and social benefits.
The UK’s Heat Networks Investment Project offers a total of £320 million in funding aimed at supporting.........
