00:00Gateshead is at the centre of pioneering research in the hope that the town's mining past could be
00:07transformed into future heating. An open access living laboratory is tracking mine water heating,
00:12already warming local buildings. Experts say the project is producing incredibly rare real
00:18world data from Gateshead. Around 350 homes and businesses are already heated this way.
00:24Researchers say the findings could help cut carbon emissions and energy costs long term
00:30if the schemes expanded. The Mining Remediation Authority says Gateshead's network is the largest
00:36of its kind. Scientists believe the town could become a global model for low carbon heating developed
00:41locally first.
