Report urges UK to look to Europe for viable heat network strategies

The UK should look to European markets on how best to build a viable business case for network-based heating to support the decarbonisation of buildings
 
The UK must look to its European neighbours for examples of heat network strategies that can help overcome existing barriers to expanding uptake of such systems, a new study has concluded. Greater choice and flexibility in how heat networks are implemented and managed is expected to be an important step in decarbonising buildings across the UK in order to drastically cut carbon emissions.
