Our friends are Kensa are involved in ground-breaking ground source heat pump study in Greenwich
A team of experts has launched a project in London’s borough of Greenwich to assess the feasibility of switching gas-heated, owner-occupied homes in high density areas to low carbon heating in the form of networked ground source heat pumps.
The aim is to develop an innovative methodology for the coordination of high-density heat pump deployment which will support urban communities switching to a low carbon technology that will reduce energy demand, improve air quality and mitigate against rising energy costs. The work supports Royal Borough of Greenwich Council’s carbon neutral plan to reach net zero carbon emissions in 2030.
The Greenwich Thermal Infrastructure Motivating Electrification (Greenwich TIME) project is funded under Heat Pump Ready Programme Stream 1, Phase 1, which is part of the BEIS £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP), which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies and processes through the 2020s and 2030s.
The partners include: Element Energy, Kensa Contracting, Nationwide Building Society, UKPN, OVO Energy, Heat Geek and DG Cities.
