Decarbonize your district heating
District Heating —the route to the city of future
District heating is a system for distributing heat generated in centralized locations through a system of insulated pipes for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating. The heat can be obtained from various sources including heat-only boiler stations, geothermal heating, cogeneration plants burning fossil fuels, biomass or waste incineration.
With municipalities aiming for low-carbon energy, there is a move to replace fossil fuel-based heating systems with more environmentally friendly heating systems. Heat pumps are installed either as stand-alone systems or in connection with other low-carbon heating technologies for optimized heat production.
How it works
Ever wondered how heat pump works in district heating? Check the video below and learn how Islington Council’s Bunhill Heat and Power Network (BHPN) does it, it’s the first scheme in the world to take waste heat from an underground train network and use it to provide lower cost, greener heat to local homes, schools and leisure centers.
