The UK government has plans to reach net-zero carbon emissions by the year 2050. Given the scale of the challenge, we will need to simultaneously better energy efficiency rates along with green energy supplied to homes and businesses. Today we will be exploring how to lower our carbon emissions through our heating systems, whether it be a home or business.
What is the process of decarbonising heat?
The decarbonisation of heat refers to decreasing the amount of carbon produced by our heating systems. To achieve this, we need to switch to low carbon heating systems, ultimately providing our Cornish homes and businesses with ‘green’ heat.
Why is decarbonising heat the solution?
Heating is one of the leading sources of carbon emissions within the UK and is massively contributing towards global warming. The decarbonisation of heat is essential in order to significantly lower the countries carbon emissions.
Our Solution to Decarbonising Heat
With years of experience within the heating and renewables industry, Bumblebee Energy. is Cornwall’s renewable energy expert. We offer a full range of renewable technologies, including that of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP), Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) and Underfloor Heating (UFH), all of which contribute to the decarbonisation of heat.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air Source Heat Pumps is the single most important renewable heating solution. They decarbonises heat through their use of renewable heat from the air outside. ASHP are an idyllic alternative to your traditional heating systems. They provide high efficiency when it comes to your heating and hot water requirements. Air source heat pumps are economically viable and are flexible in their application for heating. Moreover, they can significantly improve your energy efficiency rates between A++ to A+++.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Like that of Air Source Heat Pumps, Ground Source Heat Pumps work by using renewable energy. GSHP use the stored solar energy in the ground. They are an exceptionally effective way to provide your heating and hot water requirements all year round, regardless of the season or time of day. The ground offers an inexhaustible amount of energy. It is constantly renewing itself due to environmental factors like that of the sun and rain.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor Heating is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to your traditional radiators. UFH is space saving, and works extremely well with the lower flow temperatures you get with a heat pump. By changing to lower flow temperature heating, we ultimately decarbonise heat. UFH is usually installed in the beginning stages of building. Although, with the introduction of a range of retrofit solutions, it is now possible to install UFH into already existing buildings. Additionally, underfloor heating improves air quality and health and safety benefits.
Conclusion
In conclusion, all are an effective way to reduce carbon emissions. Each play a part in reaching the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Apart from this, they also lower your running costs and improve your energy efficiency rating to great new levels.
Bumblebee Energy. is fully accredited and offers a range of advanced renewable technologies; all of which aid in the decarbonisation of heat. Regardless of the project, we are committed to providing the best solution for your Cornish property.
