£20 million was recently awarded to the University of Birmingham via the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities for the National Centre for Decarbonisation of Heat (NCDH). The NCDH will be constructed at the Tyseley Energy Park, East Birmingham adjacent to the Birmingham Energy Innovation Centre. It is targeted at accelerating delivery in the domestic heating sector, particularly where there are high levels of fuel poverty and poor levels of energy efficiency as judged by EPC standards.
The Centre will act as a coordinating node for industry, local and combined authorities, academia, the third sector and community groups to aggregate learning through the delivery of at-scale housing retrofit programmes.
