Poster summary

This research investigates the adoption of mine water geothermal district heating (GDH) in the North East of England. We analyse households’ preferences for low-carbon heating systems utilising a Discrete Choice Experiment, to determine Willingness to Pay for heating system attributes. Willingness to pay estimates are obtained from a Mixed Logit model, with deterministic heterogeneity captured from household demographics and housing characteristics, and random heterogeneity in taste preferences across parameters.
