Arup has been appointed to a number of heat networks commissions in the North of England as cities continue to find low to zero carbon sources of energy in local areas.
The commissions will see Arup undertake heat mapping and master planning in order to identify and outline opportunities for heat networks in both Greater Manchester (GM) and the Leeds City Region.
As part of the GM Heat Network Programme, Arup will help Greater Manchester begin to deliver its ambitious carbon reduction target of 48% by 2020 through the delivery of a number of priority energy projects. This will include developing decentralised energy schemes and progressing options to business case level in Manchester, Salford, Bury and Tameside.
