#districtheat — Public Fediverse posts

Homes and public buildings in Bewdley could be heated using water from the river in an innovative river renewable scheme being put forward by the local Transition group.
Transition Bewdley has been working on reducing the town’s energy use and moving it to renewables for years - then a study found it was one of the sites to explore a river heat scheme.

At a public meeting this week, they unveiled the promising results of a feasibility scheme into putting an energy centre in the ground of Bewdley school, where heat from river water would be extracted and boosted and hot water pumped to nearby homes in insulated pipes.

Amazing how volunteers and communities are taking forward new thinking and new projects to reveal new sustainable and innovative ways to meet local needs!
