Heat Network
In 2022 / 23, Scene undertook a feasibility study for a low carbon district heat network in the town of Watlington, Oxfordshire. Through a detailed techno-economic design process, Scene defined how a low carbon heating system could benefit Watlington residents and businesses through lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.
In 2022/23, Scene project managed the detailed feasibility and development of a heat network proposal in the village of Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire funded by the Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) Phase 2.
Galleries to Calories (G2C), comprising industry, academic and national research partners from Scotland, USA and Ireland, demonstrates for the first time the use of legacy mine workings as recycled heat storage and transport networks to provide managed sustainable regional recharge of low enthalpy geothermal heat. Scene is providing environmental and social impact assessment expertise to the G2C project.
A baseline heat demand study of the Stowmarket Health, Education and Leisure Facility (SHELF) was conduted by Scene in 2022 to accompnay an application to the Heat Networks Delivery Unit (HNDU) for support in the development of a heat network to meet the heating requirements for the area. The Energy Demand Assessment provides an annual and peak heat load for each building owned by SHELF, as well as for the proposed buildings which will form part of the planned heat network.
In 2022, a feasibility study was conducted by Grantchester Parish Council with technical support from Scene and Townrock Energy, and funding form the Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF). The project sought to define how a low carbon heating system could benefit Bildeston residents and businesses through reduced energy bills and carbon emissions.
A low carbon heat network feasibility study was undertaken by Scene during 2022 in the village of Bildeston, Suffolk. The project sought to define how a low carbon heating system could benefit Bildeston residents and businesses through reduced energy bills and carbon emissions. The feasibility study was conducted with the support of the Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) by Heating Bildeston, a not-for-profit group of Bildeston residents seeking to secure a low carbon future for Bildeston.
Cranleigh Parish Council (CPC) secured funding through the UK Government Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) to undertake a feasibility study into the viability of developing low carbon heat supply options and low carbon electricity supply within Cranleigh. The study was undertaken between May 2022 – December 2022 to understand the feasibility of Low Carbon heat supply options and solar photovoltaics (PV).
Scene will deliver a feasibility study to assess the potential to install a community-owned district heating scheme on the site of the former Brymbo Steelworks. This system could supply renewable heat to a new housing scheme, a number of public properties (school, community centre, medical centre) and commercial units adjacent to the site in addition to restored heritage buildings. Dialogue with the Brymbo Heritage Trust and other stakeholders will ensure that the study outcomes are aligned with local priorities.
As part of the Scottish Government's Geothermal Challenge Fund , the project won funding to undertake a feasibility assessment on mine water geothermal potential in the area around Hartwood Farm. The project team comprised Scene, Townrock Energy, Ramboll, Holymoor Consulting and British Geological Survey.
