Association for Decentralised Energy says heat networks are poised to accelerate at scale towards net zero
Heat networks are set to deliver a significant part of the work needed to deliver net zero, accelerating the low carbon transition and lowering energy bills thanks to their ability to integrate renewable energy sources and utilise waste heat.
Comprising insulated pipes to deliver heat from the point of generation in the form of hot water or steam, heat network uses include waste-to-energy facilities, biomass boilers and CHP plants, heat pumps and even solar thermal arrays.
Heat networks are an internationally-proven route for decarbonising heat at scale – however, this hasn’t always been recognised by the right decision-makers.
Energy technologies like offshore wind or solar panels have already household topics of discussion, and many believe critical heat network infrastructure and the value it offers is next.
