With UK Government ambitions that 20% of all space heating and hot water is fed from Heat Networks by 2050, it’s clear that reliable, efficient systems will be vital to reaching Net Zero.

Today Paul Haverson and Joe Thompson headed to Northallerton Methodist Church to join in the celebrations to mark the completion of a £1.1 million decarbonisation project spanning 20 churches across the Yorkshire North & East Methodist District.

New heat network regulations are coming and here's the big question - is your site ready?

As we sift through the latest draft of the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS) standards published by DESNZ, one thought keeps coming to mind - how will the 100s, if not 1000s, of smaller and independent sites navigate this?

Just over a year ago, the D3A Energy team made their way to the picturesque district of Uttlesford in Essex, where we carried out surveys on a number of council-owned buildings ahead of developing bespoke Heat Decarbonisation Plans.

Saving 57,000kWh a year and generating 10,700kWh of clean electricity - all in one project!

These are the results after Starbeck Methodist Church decided to take major steps to cut energy use and carbon emissions.

Ouseburn Trust is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and is actively developing the Ouseburn Regeneration Strategy 2020-30.

With the UK government softening its stance on the Gas Boiler Ban, many in the Heat Network sector are wondering - has this slowed down progress?

The UK’s journey towards net zero by 2050 is accelerating, and district heating is playing a key role.

At D3A, we've been attending several community energy workshops in our hometown of Hexham, Northumberland.

We love this video case study produced by the North East & Yorkshire Net Zero Hub.

With our client, the Yorkshire North & East Methodist District, still firmly focused on their target to be entirely Net Zero by 2040, we carried out site visits to progress Decarbonisation works at three churches in Harrogate and Knaresborough.

As we tackle climate change and work towards net-zero emissions, district energy systems offer a really powerful solution for our cities.

The D3A Energy Team have been working with Westmorland & Furness Council to help them reach their net zero carbon emissions target by 2037.

More good news from our client the Yorkshire North & East Methodist District.

The Government’s Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES) is awarding over £3 million in funding in the present round and the great news for the D3A Energy team is that 2 of our schemes have been included.

Great news for Community Energy Groups and Local Authorities. The North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub are currently able to offer a limited number of subsidised Energy Audits and the D3A Energy team will be delivering the work.

Today we’re celebrating 10 years of Geoff at d3associates.

This week 4 members of our Energy team are heading to Cumbria to carry out surveys on a selection of buildings controlled by Westmorland & Furness Council.

Great news for our client the Yorkshire North & East Methodist District, who’ve been nominated in this year’s Community Energy Awards.
