Heat networks can use a variety of fuels to generate energy and often combine more than one source.
- The most common source today is traditional gas-fired boilers.
- Lower-carbon technologies are becoming more widely used, including:
- Heat pumps
- Biomass
- Energy from waste
What this means for you
- Your heat may be generated by gas, lower-carbon technology, or a mix of both.
- Over time, more networks will adopt low-carbon sources as part of the move towards net zero.
