Heat Networks Slash Costs by 30%: The Future of Urban Heating
District heating networks are set to play a crucial role in the UK’s transition to greener and more affordable energy solutions. Currently, these networks provide about 3% of the UK’s total heat, but projections suggest this could rise to 20% by 2050. To meet future demands, it’s estimated that heat networks will need to cover around 50-60% of the total heat supply.
Powering Prosperity: How the Green Transition Fuels Community Wealth and Green Jobs
The transition from pollution-heavy heating systems to clean, green heat represents more than just an environmental necessity; it is a significant opportunity to build community wealth and create new green jobs. This shift demands a massive build-out of renewable technologies such as geothermal, solar, wind, and biogas, alongside the development of supporting green industries. To realize this vision, a vast deployment of labour and an upgrade in skills will be essential.
New Danish Report Shows Progress in the Roll-Out of Green Heat
In 2023, more than 100,000 Danes have been told that district heating is on its way, and many more may be added over the next year. With a new report, the Danish Association of Local Authorities and the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities have provided a status on the phasing out of gas in Danish homes.
The East Lothian Question – Critical to the UK’s Heating Future
To meet its long-term heating and decarbonisation targets, East Lothian District Council is investigating a heat utility strategy utilising clean, low-cost waste heat from its local industries.
Future Proofing Manchester’s Heat For Good!
Heat highways function like power transmission lines transporting heat from industry across regions to local heat grids.
The idea is simple: harvest clean, low-cost waste heat from industrial sources, transport it to populated areas, and use it to heat homes and businesses. Filled with hot water, these underground piping systems can cover hundreds of kilometres with only minimal temperature losses.
The Renaissance of Denmark’s Triangle Region to a Green Circular Economy
Denmark’s Triangle Region Heat Transmission Company (TVIS) is responsible for entering into agreements with local heat suppliers so that the heat demand in their four owner municipalities is covered. They are also responsible for the heat transmission highway in the Triangle Region, which consists of a 123km piping system. Since its inception in 1983, TVIS has …

Future Proofing Heat for Manchester
Particularly in and around Manchester there is a concerning shortsighted growth in direct electric heating systems.
With our increased demand for scarce renewable power needed to drive the electrification and decarbonisation of existing technologies and transport, our demand for and the cost of electricity will inevitably also continue to grow. Homes with direct electric heating therefore risk increasing the number of consumers trapped in fuel poverty.
Green partnership sends excess heat to Sorø District Heating
Sorø District Heating has just entered a partnership with Hørkram Foodservice where the company’s excess heat will be channelled into the local district heating network and to consumers in Sorø.
