Sustainable energy in cities

Huge importance of CHP Combined Heat and Power for sustainable heating in cities.

Large scale, efficient, integrating multiple energy sources ranging from gas to solar, wind, biomass, heat pumps and so on.

Expect Combined Heat and Power to be increasingly insisted on by government regulators for larger projects, coupled with high insulation and green power generation where possible.

Comments on visit to Brussels after giving keynote to Euroheat and Power in France recently.

Huge challenge in meeting carbon emission targets and reducing threat from climate change / global warming. Decarbonising energy production is relatively easy - converting power generation from coal to gas, adding solar and wind etc.

But heating homes is heavily dependent on gas boilers today in most nations. Here are ways to make that far more efficient, but it requires scale, government action, district planning and a long range view of what is best for our planet.
