High Expectations for Low Carbon Heat Network Funds




We have warmly welcomed the recent government’s £320 million Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP) and there are high expectations from this valuable project for low carbon heat network Funds. It is believed that HNIP will support the development of new heat networks from 2019.

As one of the UK market leaders in the heating industry, we strongly believe that HNIP will inspire confidence in the UK district heating industry and encourage more developers and specifiers to choose these low carbon systems in the future.

Heat networks are an important part of the government’s strategy to reduce carbon emissions and in recent years, we have seen a marked increase in their use, particularly in schemes which provide low cost heat to those most in need.

The HNIP scheme will open for applications in January 2019, so we would advise clients looking to install a heat network to factor this into their project timelines. The funding will be available for both public and private sector projects in England and Wales, and for schemes which incorporate both domestic and non-domestic use. With funding available and the continued support of supply chain partners, 2019 is sure to be a key year for heat networks in the UK.

Fourth and Fifth generation district heating terms are used to refer to low temperature and ultra-low temperature heat networks. They use low grade heat sources like renewables heat pumps and utilize lower flow temperatures and larger delta Ts. Hence, the technology needs smaller pipe diameters. Fifth generation district heating uses ambient temperature levels for heating and cooling (15-20°C).
The whole clean growth strategy shows that heat networks could meet up to 17% of heat demand in homes and up to 24% of heat demand in industrial & public sector by the year of 2050.

Conclusion: The technology is replacing the high carbon emissions with Fifth generation district heating. It will help in cleaning the environment and health of the crowd. Welcome to the new technology.

A Rated boilers are considered the most proficient as specified by SEDBUK (regular efficiency of Domestic Boilers in the UK) Boiler Efficiency Ratings. A Rated Boilers work at 90% effectiveness contrasted with lower rating (B to G) boilers. Starting a few years back, every single new boiler had to be at least 88% energy-efficient and receive an A rating. Boilers are evaluated A to G (A being the most effective, G Being the minimum proficient). Although there are many A-rated boiler model options to choose from, most households will end up installing a Worcester Bosch 30i boiler, a
