South Kensington Zero Emission Neighbourhood Heat Network Baseline Report
This feasibility study looks at decarbonising a heat network by finding heat recovery options within the South Kensington area, as part of a holistic decarbonisation plan for the area.
This project is split into two main work packages, the first one being ‘WP-I: Baseline review’. WP-I aims to investigate the current energy infrastructure within the four institutions (Natural History Museum, Imperial College London, Science Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum), the existing connections to the heat network and to produce a baseline energy model of the demands.
The second Work Package ‘WP-II: Feasibility Study’ aims to investigate opportunities to decarbonise the heat network and develop an energy model of the potential carbon and energy savings. Each scenario will be assessed against the following criteria:
- energy performance
- capital and operational costs
- difficulty of implementation
- whole life carbon emissions
- available grid electrical capacity.
