Summary
The UK government must pull out all the stops and take every opportunity to invest in the nation’s renewables infrastructure. To keep pace with the rest of the world and meet UK net-zero targets, we must implement a systematic, technology-agnostic approach to accelerate the energy transition and create a level playing field for all renewable energy technologies.
The impact of solar heat goes beyond individual buildings. Solar district heating is a powerful demonstration of how entire communities can decarbonize through large scale infrastructure. These networks can provide 90% to 100% of the energy needed for hot water and space heating when paired with seasonal storage technology such as pit thermal energy storage systems. That technology involves a large, insulated body of water which can be heated and, in Denmark, solar district heating is so successful it meets 60% of the country’s thermal demand. Systems have also been installed in Austria and Germany.
