Be the first person to recommend this.
NPR Summary Like in many American cities, Denver's largest source of climate pollution is its buildings. Powering, heating and cooling the city's skyscrapers takes a lot of fossil fuels. Now, the city is trying a greener solution. It plans to heat and cool a cluster of large downtown buildings using a combination of water, the heat of the Earth — and sewage. Denver will pilot what's called a thermal energy network. Similar networks already exist on campuses and in some cities around the world. If it works here, it could set an example for how to decarbonize a dense, downtown core in the United States. Most people don't think of sewage as a ...

Be the first person to recommend this.
hoodline Summary Denver is gearing up to warm and cool chunks of its downtown with a first-of-its-kind hybrid thermal network that links deep geothermal wells, a closed loop of circulating water and heat skimmed straight from city sewers. City officials say the system could eventually serve office towers, museums and even keep sidewalks clear of ice, all without burning fossil fuels. They expect the plan to move from paper to an on-the-ground pilot within the next two years. Warm wastewater flowing through large interceptor pipes carries usable thermal energy that can be captured with plate-and-frame heat exchangers, then boosted by heat pumps into building ...

London Loves Business Summary Grant funding, refinancing pressure and carbon expectations are turning heat networks into a commercial property issue for London landlords. London is the UK’s most concentrated heat-network market, with district heating schemes across the Olympic Park, Battersea, Greenwich Peninsula, King’s Cross, Nine Elms, Stratford and Brent Cross. It is also home to the country’s largest concentration of commercial property, facing tighter decarbonisation scrutiny. In 2026, those facts are converging into a boardroom question for owners, asset managers, developers and FDs: how long can heat decarbonisation be delayed before ...
