A one day free Workshop to launch the Durham Heat Hub – a centre for heat decarbonisation and Innovation based at Durham University.

The Durham Heat Hub will bring together heat research and heat decarbonisation initiatives across the North East to support the transition away from fossil fuel heating towards smart and renewable systems.

This workshop is ideal for those managing energy provision within business and communities.

We are also looking for 3-4 companies to take part in trials of innovative technology and approaches to decarbonising our heating and coolling.
