Net Zero Carbon Ready
The Clyde Gateway Innovation proposition offers connections to district low carbon networks; providing a sustainable solution to heating, cooling and hot water in future development.
Clyde Gateway owns and operates two district heating networks, supplying heat to homes and businesses within Dalmarnock and Shawfield. Noventa Energy, a UK limited company, own and operate the Dalmarnock Energy Centre which supplies heat to the Clyde Gateway heat networks.

The £6m Community Energy district network, located within Innovation Dalmarnock, currently serves 48 homes and Clyde Gateway’s low carbon EastWorks offices. Waste heat at the Dalmarnock Wastewater Treatment Works is captured and stored within the Dalmarnock Energy Centre to use throughout the network to sustainably supply heating and hot water to homes and businesses. Plans to connect a further 300 homes and commercial businesses are underway.
Located within Innovation Shawfield is a 5th Generation District Heating and Cooling (5GDHC) Network. This is a £4.3 million system capable of providing 100% renewable energy. One of the first of its kind, it utilises treated wastewater sources enhanced with heat pump technology to deliver direct heat and hot water. 5th generation heating and cooling (5GDHC), is a highly optimised, demand-driven, self-regulating, energy management system for urban areas. In this ultra-low temperature grid with decentralised energy plants, a closed thermal energy loop ensures hot and cold exchange within and amongst buildings. The network currently supplies Clyde Gateway’s Red Tree Magenta with capacity for future commercial connections and network expansion within Shawfield.
The Clyde Gateway Innovation proposition offers the opportunity for future developments to connect to these heat networks, delivering net zero carbon ready buildings that meet climate change targets and minimise their impact on the environment.
A ‘living lab’ environment where sustainability is embedded in the campus design, operations and outputs, including future proofing for Net Zero Carbon technology, renewable energy integration and biodiversity net gain.

Landscape & Biodiversity
An integrated green network prioritising investment in nature-based solutions to sustainable drainage, biodiversity and vibrant public spaces.
Centred along the River Clyde corridor, the masterplan incorporates green spaces and landscaping to enhance the environment. This includes:
Parks and Recreational Areas: Green spaces for relaxation and outdoor activities, as well as access to active travel routes and national cycling networks promoting a healthy work-life balance.
Sustainable Design: Use of native plants and sustainable landscaping practices to support biodiversity and environmental sustainability and provide habitats for wildlife.
Water Management: Sustainable water management practices, such as rain gardens, SuDS ponds and permeable paving to support local ecosystems.
Already established landscape sets the standard for the future, prioritising quality, longevity and spaces that will flourish over time.
