<p>In December 2018 we published in ‘<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/heat-networks-developing-a-market-framework"
target="_blank">Heat networks: Developing a market framework</a>’ our estimate of
the fuel sources that will be used in projects that will come forward under the Heat
Network Investment Project. The assumed technology mix is displayed in the figure
below. The estimate is based on analysis of HNIP pilot data and surveys of the project
pipeline. The estimate is dynamic as it is assumed original CHP plants are replaced
with lower-carbon systems at the end of their operational life.</p><p> </p><p>The
estimated technology mix is 22% gas back-up boiler, 33% gas CHP, 20% EfW incinerator,
5% biomass, 10% heat pump and 10% waste heat recovery.</p><p> </p>
