What do Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, Park Hill flats, The Lyceum Theatre, Millenium Galleries, Weston Park Hospital and Sheffield City Hall have in common? They all get their heating from the waste that you create.

Sheffield has an award winning District Energy Network, providing over 140 buildings of all sizes and types with a low carbon energy source generated locally. More than 44km of underground pipes deliver energy generated by recovering Energy Recovery to some of the city's most prestigious and landmark buildings.

On average every year, the District Energy Network prevents over 21,000 tonnes of CO₂ from being released across the city. This has a significant impact on preventing climate change.
