The proposal for a heat network using recycling energy could help the city reduce its carbon emissions, but would cost around £24 million.

A waste centre at Polmadie could provide heat to Hampden Park, a hospital, homes and schools, a study has found.

“But this study shows conclusively that heat produced by the GRREC can be used to warm buildings across a wide area on Glasgow’s southside.” A council report stated energy from waste is “a source of heat that’s recognised as being relatively low cost , and this can act as a catalyst for heat network development if there is high heat demand density in the local area”.

The feasibility report proposed that “heat exchange equipment for the EfW supply be sited on the GRREC site, with an energy centre building, housing back-up boilers and thermal storage, on adjacent GCC land”.
