National Infrastructure Strategy
Missing :
– District Heating DH in urban areas. Use BRE Orchard method for calculation BEIS economists. Re-purpose LP low pressure gas mains for DH return. Use MW megawatt sized water sourced heat pumps on HV high voltage grid, backup 5ookW renewable CHP gas/hydrogen/fuel with clutched flywheel at elec substations for infill elec + DH + inertia.
– Trams in urban areas on main routes. Use UK Ultra Light Rail trams and prefab for quick track install. Overhead lightweight and/or battery + quick charge station or backup renewable gas/fuel.
– Community renewable energy - local income + acceptance + distributed security
Wasted :
– SMR dead end
– Roads to no were
– Car obsession
– Hydrogen for domestic heating
