The Future of Thermal Energy Conference, hosted at Warwick Unversity in October, heard that industrial sized district heat pumps are expected to play a key role in achieving carbon reduction targets due to their proven ability to deliver zero carbon heat on an industrial scale. For the full article as written in Renewable Energy…
An article in the October edition of Renewable Energy Installer indicates that the British public have faith in renewables for their future energy supplies as renewable energy is more cost effective and reliable than fossil or nuclear sources. Lets hope the government are in agreement and that the renewables industry is provided with ongoing…

Biomass reaches degression triger – rates adjusted: The Department of Energy and Climate Change announced on 29 May 2015 that the degression ‘super trigger’ for biomass had been passed. This means that the current biomass tariff of 8.93p per kilowatt hour will be reduced by 20% to 7.14p per kilowatt hour for all new…
In June, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) will launch their water source heat map, which identifies the potential source of more than six giggawatts of renewable heat which they calculate could heat upto a million homes. The map shows the potential heat that could be utilised from rivers, canals and the sea using heat…
“The possibility of using existing wells enables us to not only deliver renewable geothermal heat at a much lower cost but also to recycle wells that would otherwise be wasted,” A comment by the head of Geothermal Engineering Ltd, Ryan Law, regarding the project they are undertaking with Cuadrilla to expolre the liklihood that geothermal…

In the last few weeks, an abandoned deep geothermal borehole located in Cornwall has been used to demonstrate how naturally present underground heat could be used to produce clean, safe renewable energy. Engineers from Geothermal Engineering Limited demonstrated that water can be heated to 60°C using nothing but naturally occurring underground heat. The project is…
