Decarbonising Heat in Lambeth

Natural gas used for heating space and water is the largest source of carbon emissions in Lambeth. A long term, strategic approach from Lambeth Council and its partners is needed to decarbonise heat, given the scale and complexity of the challenge.

To inform that strategy, Lambeth is commissioning research to profile domestic and commercial heat demand, options to reduce demand, and options to meet demand through low carbon heat technologies.

Outputs should include a technical report, data tables, and a user-friendly interface for visualising and navigating data (e.g. GIS maps).

Scope includes profiling Lambeth's domestic and non-domestic heat demand, profiling options to limit heat demand in each sector, profiling options to meet heat demand through renewable and low carbon options, and economic and energy systems analysis. See Appendix F for more detail.
