Durham Heat Hub - Launch Workshop

Durham Energy InstituteDurham Energy Institute delivers understanding, leadership and solutions for energy decarbonisation and the transition to net-zero.About DEITo meet current targets for reducing greenhouse emissions, addressing climate change and achieving the sustainable development goals, the global energy system needs to move towards renewable energy at unprecedented pace and scale. We need to increase sources of secure low-carbon energy, reduce fossil fuel use and change energy-use practices in our society and industry. However, to be sustainable, decarbonisation must at least avoid increasing the inequalities - and ideally, start to reduce them.Approaching energy as socio-technical helps us to understand solutions fully and from many perspectives.Durham Energy Institute works to ensure sustainable and resilient low-carbon energy systems can be developed which meet the needs of different contexts and ensure fair access for everyone.Examples of our leadership in energy research include:Promoting a whole-systems approach to energy research integrating the social, environmental, economic, policy, technical and regulatory implications of energy pathways and choicesBest practice in innovative training for future energy leadersWorld-leading research to make Offshore Wind more affordable and reliableLeading international research on smart energy solutionsWorking with industrial clusters to developing innovative decarbonisation solutionsDriving forward the UK Hydrogen RevolutionDiscovering and developing new energy materials to help achieve durable, efficient, and sustainable energy systems.With our global partners, DEI is making a real contribution to global energy transitions and ensuring effective solutions for decarbonisation are delivered at local, regional, national and international scales.

Durham Energy Institute

A one day FREE Workshop to launch the Durham Heat Hub - a centre for heat decarbonisation and Innovation based at Durham University

Hotel Indigo, Durham 

The Durham Heat Hub will bring together heat research and heat decarbonisation initiatives across the North East to support the transition away from fossil fuel heating towards smart and renewable systems.Please join us in this FREE Workshop to hear the latest research, policy and leading thinkers is heat. However, spaces are limited so registration is essential. Please book your place here: This workshop is ideal for those managing energy provision within business and communities. We are also looking for 3-4 companies to take part in trials of innovative technology and approaches to decarbonising our heating and coolling.Timing	Activity	Speaker9-9.30	Registration	9.30	Durham Heat Hub	Jacki Bell and Peter Chalder-Wood, Durham Energy Institute10.00	Our Minewater Heat Resource	Professor Jon Gluyas, Durham Energy Institute10.30	Heat Pumps and their uses	 Jason Oakes, Oakes Energy11. 00	Durham County Business and Energy Efficiency Support	 Helen Grayshan, Durham County Council11.20	Break	11.30	WORKSHOP – What incentives are needed	12.30	LUNCH	13.00	Heat, hydrogen, Rankine Cycles and the Transport revolution	Professor Tony Roskilly, Durham University13.45	INTEGREL – Heat Networks 	Keith Owen, Northern Gas Networks14.30	Funding the heat transition	Tim Sutherland, Control point Consulting15.00	Workshop – Making progress	16.30	Conclusions	17.00	FINISHFor further information, following this link to the Durham Energy Institute Webpages https://www.dur.ac.uk/dei/Durham County Council’s Low Carbon Team: https://www.durham.gov.uk/climatechange
