Heat Networks

Heat networks, or district heating, supply centralized heat to multiple buildings through insulated pipes. They offer a low-carbon heating solution by reducing energy waste and emissions compared to individual systems.

How It Works

Heat is generated centrally, often from renewable or waste energy sources, and distributed through insulated pipes. This method improves efficiency and is particularly effective in dense urban areas.

Benefits of Heat Networks

By using renewables or industrial waste heat, heat networks lower fossil fuel reliance, cut emissions, and improve air quality. Many cities are already seeing significant carbon savings.

Challenges & the Future

Expanding heat networks requires major infrastructure investment and reliable low-carbon heat sources. With government incentives and advancing technology, they are set to play a key role in sustainable urban heating.
