It’s time to talk about heat

If we told you there was a low-carbon way to meet the world's energy demand, address climate change and rebalance energy politics, would you believe us' Well it's true. It is time we start focusing on heat. Durham Energy Institute (DEI) is on a mission to show politicians, industry and the public just how important heat is and how the UK could become a world leader in effectively 'decarbonising' heat. The DEI believes that through innovative re-use of waste heat and using geothermal energy, we could significantly reduce carbon emissions, and rebalance global energy politics. The transition to low-carbon energy has seen impressive advances. However the focus has been largely on decarbonisation of the power grid. Decarbonisation of heat has hardly begun.
