BBC World Service - How to heat water without hurting the planet 17032022

In much of the world the only way people can heat water is to use non-renewable fuel such as gas or charcoal. But in the global South they have a plentiful supply of one renewable energy source - the sun.

UNEP - District Energy - A Case study of Floating Office in Rotterdam 25112022

Floating Office Rotterdam is the largest floating office in the world. Off-grid and carbon-neutral, it floats if water levels rise due to climate change. The heat pump with surface water heat exchange is one of the innovations that showcases the building’s mission for climate change

Just have a Think - Geothermal ground source heat pumps. Heating your home from your own back yard, 04102020

Geothermal energy could be potentially transformational for our power grids. But it could also be used for domestic heating. The technology is called a Ground Source Heat Pump. They've been around for a while but they are growing very quickly in popularity and may prove to be one of the lynch pins in helping us get to carbon neutrality by 2050

Innovative Techs - How sand batteries could change the rules of the energy storage game, 06082022

Mankind is constantly looking for ways to conserve energy. Among them are lithium-ion batteries, gas storage, pumped storage hydropower, and gravity energy storage systems. All options have their advantages and disadvantages, so scientists do not stop looking for new technologies and methods. For example, to store energy, literally, in the sand. How can the world's first commercial sand battery installed in Finland be a game changer in green energy storage? Find out about it in this video!

Just have a Think - Stirling Heat Engine to Stirling Heat Pump : How is it done? 11042021

Stirling engines have been around since the nineteenth century. They are an elegantly simple way of generating power using temperature differentials, but nobody ever found a way to make them efficient enough for wide scale use. Now a UK company has developed a heat pump system based on the principles of the Stirling Engine, but with some ingenious adaptations, using no HFC refrigeration gases and with a 30% saving in energy costs compared to existing systems
