It’s hard not to feel inspired by the idea of a single integrated and optimised energy system, with complementary flows of power, gas and heat moving in concert to achieve the ultimate in efficiency. Such a system would represent a zenith of engineering accomplishment as well as bringing social benefits and commercial opportunity. But is such a shiny utopia even remotely possible?
