Gateshead Arts Venue Connects to Mine Water District Heating Network
What happened
A large-scale mine water heat scheme in Gateshead, England, has been operating since March 29, 2023. This network uses water from flooded coal mines to provide warmth to 350 homes, a college, two arts venues, and several office buildings. The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art is also connected to this district heating network.

Why it matters
The project, which took three years from concept to full operation, replaced gas engines with mine heat. The capital cost of the scheme was £15.1 million, with £5.9 million provided through a government grant.
Jacobs secured projects in Denmark for infrastructure development, including the Marselis Tunnel and Copenhagen Nordhavn, collaborating with Ramboll.
