hospital’s Beckett Wing has already been connected to the network. A further 10 buildings are proposed to be connected in the next financial year using funding secured via PSDS Phase 3 applications. These connections reduce demand on the central site heating infrastructure, thereby reducing fossil fuel demand.
Heat pump installation A significant heat pump installation was added to the central site services. The heat pump installation and extension of the on-site LTHW network allow for increased efficiencies, and utilisation of the waste heat from the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant. The low carbon network provides heat
at temperatures compatible with the existing distribution temperatures on site. Existing central site heating plant will be retained for back-up and resilience while the changeovers are being undertaken. Additionally, the reduction in carbon through switching to lower temperatures is part of the Trust’s decarbonisation strategic plans, and positively impacts the trajectory in achieving its milestones, as set out in its Green Plan to meet the 2032 target for an 80% reduction in carbon emissions associated with energy consumption.
Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme As stated on the Government (
gov.uk) website (
https://tinyurl.com/299wrxv7), the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme supports the aim of reducing emissions from public sector buildings by 75% by 2037, compared with a 2017 baseline. Phase 1 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme provided £1 bn in grants over the financial years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 as part of the Chancellor’s Plan for Jobs 2020 commitment to support the UK’s economic recovery from COVID-19. It aimed to support up to 30,000 jobs in the low carbon and energy efficiency sectors, and reduce carbon emissions from the public sector. Phase 2 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme provided £75 m of grant funding for the financial year 2021-2022. It had a stronger focus on

heat decarbonisation than Phase 1, in order to deliver greater carbon emission reductions. It supported the public sector in taking a ‘whole building’ approach when decarbonising its estates.
Phase 3 of the PSDS Phase 3 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme will provide £1.425 bn of grant funding over the financial years 2022-2023 to 2024-2025. Phase 3a and 3b have closed for
applications, but the next application window (Phase 3c) is expected to open to

applications in the autumn of this year. The BEIS delivery body, Salix Finance, manages the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. The Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund provides grants for public sector bodies to put in place a heat decarbonisation plan, providing them with information they need to develop future applications to the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. Both the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme and the Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund are open to public sector bodies in England, and areas of reserved public services across the UK.
STEM Links The Leeds PIPES project is also being used to educate local school children on climate change. The programme also supports a range of National Curriculum and Key Stage themes, such as geography, sustainable development, science, numeracy, and literacy.
