An introduction to the Old Oak and Park Royal Energy Network (OPEN) - a new district heat network Hemiko is developing with OPDC
OPEN will harness low-carbon waste heat from nearby data centres and distribute it via a network of underground pipes from Hemiko's energy centre on Minerva Road.
As well as providing space heating and hot water, Hemiko want to help industrial facilities decarbonise their process heat. This could be achieved by upgrading their 80deg flow temperature heat to suit individual business process temperatures or establishing a shared loop where the two systems exchange heat based on supply/demand dynamics.
