Heat Transmission
Regional-scale heat transmission infrastructure, also known as Heat Highways, is the mechanism for transporting waste heat over distance.
Our Vision for Britan
Heating Cities with What We Already Have.
Heat Highways are large-scale transmission systems that move heat from where it is abundant to where it is needed most. They collect waste heat, surplus renewable electricity converted to heat, naturally occurring heat, and heat stored in large-scale thermal energy storage from industrial, commercial, and renewable-rich regions. This energy is then delivered efficiently to dense towns and cities with high demand.
Denmark already does this at national scale, routinely transporting heat over 100 km with minimal losses.
ENERGY STRATEGIES
Across our regions, abundant sources of untapped heat – such as waste incineration, industrial processes, surface water, and geothermal reserves – are waiting to be harnessed.
Linking renewable electricity with heat networks and thermal storage becomes a powerful tool for the future UK energy system.
Green Energi Havens can unlock the full potential of British energy, creating a future where nothing goes to waste.
