Waste heat from the London Underground - an investigation of the potential benefits of integrating heating and cooling

The paper looks at the study of waste heat recovery systems in the London Underground network comparing the use of heat pumps against conventional gas heating and considering comparable investment and operating costs. 

The paper also discusses the wider opportunities for heat recovery, contrasting the available thermal energy from the Underground at 0.29TWh vs the UK's potential 53TWh.
