The inventors of the world\u2019s largest zero carbon ammonia heat pump have been nominated for an award in Glasgow, where their planned water source heat pump on the River Clyde is set to reduce carbon emissions and\u00a0 cut the Gorbals nitrous oxygen footprint by 100% .<\/p>\n

Glasgow based Star Renewable Energy has been announced as a finalist for\u00a0the “Corporates\u00a0for Good” award at the Global Game Changers Awards 2017. The winners will be announced at a black tie dinner ceremony on Wednesday 13th<\/sup>September at the Glasgow Science Centre, and the event is set to be attended by some of the country\u2019s most innovative organisations.<\/p>\n

The event\u00a0is organised\u00a0by\u00a0Newquest\u00a0Media\u00a0and Innovators Magazine and aims to reward sustainability and innovation at an international level across all business sectors. The Global Game Changers recognises young pioneers, collaborations, start-ups, innovation in STEM training, and businesses with a sustainable outlook pressing for cultural change. SRE has pioneered game changing zero carbon\u00a0heatpump\u00a0technology and has delivered carbon footprint-reducing solutions in the UK and across the world.<\/p>\n

Dave Pearson, Director of Star Renewable Energy said, \u201cIt is wonderful to be nominated for a\u00a0Global\u00a0Game Changer Award and for SRE to achieve recognition for its revolutionary heating projects. We have always believed it is the responsibility of corporates to deliver new business models which will tackle the problem of climate change, and our investment in clean, low carbon heat is our fundamental approach. At Star we are motivated by innovation and sustainability\u201d.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Corporates\u00a0for Good award will be presented to a company which has adopted pioneering practices with a focus on the environment. Nominees are making a major impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through technology or services.<\/p>\n

After recognising that neither the government nor the end user alone are able to make the shift from burning gas, SRE knew the answer was to offer cleaner and cheaper heat at no extra cost to the end-user. SRE focuses on harvesting waste heat from industrial processes and the environment using a technique that whilst \u00a0pitched in 1852 by Lord Kelvin, has not yet been deployed on a wide scale in the UK. Star\u2019s water source\u00a0heatpumps\u00a0are proven to deliver the same heat and hot water to customers while offering a much lower carbon footprint of around 50% now but falling further as the electricity grid decarbonises.<\/p>\n

In what would be a UK first, SRE\u2019s latest water source heat pump project for district heating will extract water from the Clyde and\u00a0supply residents at the Gorbals in Glasgow with heat\u00a0and hot water but with less of the associated carbon emissions and 0% of the local Nitrous Oxide footprint.<\/p>\n

Pearson added, \u201cThe government is committed to \u2018clean air\u2019 but the policy is missing the fact that heat is also core to the problem. Transport is a factor in the nation\u2019s carbon footprint, however 30% of\u00a0NOx\u00a0emissions are from heating systems, so perhaps only banning petrol and diesel cars by 2040 won’t be as effective as also investing in clean heat. We want to future-proof the heat sector and our systems prove that it\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere isn\u2019t a bigger aspect of climate challenge than energy and there isn\u2019t a bigger segment of energy than heat. There isn\u2019t a more robust, scalable or demonstrably 2050-ready technology capable to deliver zero carbon heat than SRE\u2019s water source\u00a0heatpumps and with chilled water produced as a by-product this is even better.\u201d<\/p>\n
