Modelling and mapping sustainable heating for cities

▸ CHP and district heating are rare in the UK but common throughout Europe. ▸ Barnsley has several community heaters fuelled by biomass (wood chips and pellets). ▸ CFD modelling show biomass boilers generate fewer pollutants than their coal-fired equivalents. ▸ Sheffield has a district heating network but there are possibilities for expansions. ▸ Many heat sources and sinks in Sheffield were identified for the expansions through heat mapping.
