Bring Energy’s Heatline Heat Network has expanded following a major extension, delivered by Vital Energi, that has seen seven buildings on Coventry University’s campus connect and begin receiving low‑carbon heat.
The project has allowed the University to switch off the gas boilers, which will be replaced by much smaller plate heat exchangers. This represents a significant step forward in the University’s decarbonisation programme, removing seven buildings’ dependency on fossil fuels.
Bring Energy’s heat network already serves nine major buildings in the city centre and was responsible for almost 2,000 tonnes of carbon reduction in 2023 alone. The new extension, which was funded by a grant from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, is expected to save a further 1,300 tonnes of carbon and will play a significant role in Coventry University’s net zero journey.
The seven buildings connecting to the new heat network extension are:
The project takes heat from the Energy from Waste (EfW) plant in Whitley and distributes it via a 6.6 km district heat network connecting 16 buildings throughout the city.
