In this week’s Pixie Chart of the week, we discuss how a recent study by Ramboll, Alternative Heat Solutions Converting A Town to Low Carbon Heating, investigates alternative heat solutions for a typical medium-sized town in the UK – in this case assessing heat demand in Cowdenbeath, Scotland.
This study highlights the relative costs community initiatives are likely to be exposed to and provides evidence for future policy development around wider engagement on heat in communities. This is one of the routes government is looking to follow for wider system decarbonisation.
