Working with others to create value

The Living Lab

The Mine Water Heat Living Lab in Gateshead is a flagship project that embodies our mission to protect and enhance the environment while delivering long-term value for communities and minimising costs to the taxpayer. By transforming disused coal mines into sources of low-carbon heat, we’re supporting the UK’s clean energy transition and creating real, local benefits, from attracting investment to unlocking new jobs and enabling lower-priced heating costs.
