Waste Not, Want Not!
Harnessing the Energy from Zero-Carbon Heat Sources
Across the UK, district heating is gaining popularity as a solution to fuel poverty and a pathway to our Net Zero future. However, these underground piping systems can only fulfil their incredible potential by utilising a wide range of zero-carbon heat sources. Thankfully, we have an abundance of these across the UK, from the natural heat stored in air and waterways to waste heat generated by commercial and industrial sites.
Waste Not, Want Not: The Ultimate Guide to Local Heat Sources
Heat Sources ‘Top Trumps’: across the UK, there’s a wide range of zero-carbon heat but some stand out as more practical, affordable, and socially beneficial. We’ve rated 28 heat sources across 5 categories, scoring them from 1-10.

Unlocking the Potential of Freely Available Heat
Across our regions, abundant sources of untapped heat, such as waste incineration, industrial processes, surface water, and geothermal reserves, are waiting to be harnessed. These resources, often overlooked, represent a transformative opportunity to reduce reliance on fossil fuels while creating a resilient and future-proof energy infrastructure.
Councils, local authorities, and governments can lead the way by identifying and cataloguing heat sources within their constituencies, while fostering partnerships with industries and stakeholders. To achieve this vision, it is crucial for new and future commercial enterprises to design in heat recovery and offtake solutions from the outset, ensuring surplus heat is captured and effectively utilised.
