Overview
This research investigates how waste heat and minewater can be combined to enhance district heating and cooling, supporting the United Kingdom’s net-zero emissions goals. Minewater provides a low-carbon thermal energy source suitable for both heating and cooling, as well as a natural reservoir for interseasonal heat storage. Because geothermal projects often involve high costs and site-selection uncertainties, evaluating the joint use of waste heat and geothermal minewater lower the risks and economically more efficient. The study examines the potential benefits and technical requirements of integrating these resources to provide a reliable, sustainable heat supply for district energy networks
