On Wednesday 27th January 2021, FairHeat celebrated its 6th anniversary virtually. The event, which was attended by over 150 people in the industry brought together colleagues, leaders, and experts in the heat networks sector to discuss key issues, showcase technical discoveries and present practical solutions. The full day event was divided into three themes:
- How we transition to low carbon heat
- A technical showcase
- How to decarbonise heat
The session recordings and presentations are now available and can be viewed below.
Session One | How We Transition to Low Carbon Heat
The transition of heat networks to low carbon is rapidly changing the industry. The decarbonisation of heat has never been more important and heat networks play an essential part in achieving our decarbonisation targets. With this major transition, the need to protect the customer will become more and more essential, creating a huge regulatory challenge for the industry.
How do we deliver on this as an industry? How do we regulate in a period of major growth and change? Watch this session to understand the major shifts in regulation and how the industry is responding.
