The Scottish Green minister, Patrick Harvie, has announced the allocation of £11m from the Scottish Government to decarbonise buildings in Edinburgh and East Scotland. One of the beneficiaries of the funding is Edinburgh University, which plans to use recycled heat from its data centres to warm buildings. The funding will also benefit projects in Fife and North Lanarkshire councils, and is part of the government's efforts to tackle emissions from buildings in order to achieve its Net Zero goal by 2045.
