Renewable Heat and Earlsdon

I’d like to see a lot more discussion in Coventry about renewable forms of heat.

Worcestershire County Hall is powered by a wood-fuelled boiler. This carbon neutral process saves around 250 tonnes of CO2 per year.

Gloucestershire’s police headquarters has a geothermal heat pump. Heat pumps move heat from a low-temperature source to a high-temperature space for heating. With geothermal, the heat source is the warmth of the earth, through a series of trenches and piping. One of the industry leaders in the UK is right here in Earlsdon (along Albany Road).

We need to concentrate more on how our homes are powered, not just switching off the TV from standby or recycling.
