In a bid to look into the ways that London can be made more sustainable, the GLA have just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.london.gov.uk\/sites\/default\/files\/031250%20GLA%20Secondary%20Heat%20-%20Summary%20Report.pdf\">published a report<\/a> that identifies the parts of the capital where this wasted heat can be converted into useful energy. As the map above shows, the City and West-End rank among the areas with the greatest potential to recycle energy currently wasted. We have produced an interactive version <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maptube.org\/map.aspx?mapid=1311\">here<\/a>. There are other areas too that have large supplies of untapped energy that is either emitted from sewers &#8211; shown in the map below &#8211; or from industrial sources.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Chris Grainger of Buro Happold for sending over the maps.\u00a0You can download the data used to to create them\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/data.london.gov.uk\/datastore\/package\/londons-zero-carbon-energy-resource-secondary-heat\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Sewage_heat_sml.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2599\" alt=\"Sewage_heat_sml\" src=\"http:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Sewage_heat_sml.jpg\" width=\"1925\" height=\"1466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Sewage_heat_sml.jpg 1925w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Sewage_heat_sml-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Sewage_heat_sml-1024x779.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1925px) 100vw, 1925px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As an addendum (thanks to Roberto Gagliardi la Gala for the extra information) there is a similar work that has been carried out in 2009: the GLA (former LDA) launched the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonheatmap.org.uk\/Content\/home.aspx\">London Heat Map<\/a> &#8211; which links to an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonheatmap.org.uk\/Mapping\/ \">interactive GIS map<\/a> (registration needed to access full functionalities) \u2013 in order to show heat consumption data, heat supply potential and opportunities for Decentralised Energy plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; A huge amount of energy is wasted each year in London as heat escapes from our buildings in winter or is pumped out from<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[244,317,316,315,319,282,318,281],"class_list":["post-2597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data","tag-choropleth","tag-cold","tag-energy","tag-heat","tag-hot","tag-secondary-heat","tag-warm","tag-wasted-heat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2597"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2797,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2597\/revisions\/2797"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
