Using old coal mines to heat homes?
Gateshead is doing it.
Their mine-water project—the UK’s largest—draws 15°C water from boreholes, uses heat pumps to boost it to 80°C, and sends that heat through an underground network.
The system now warms 350+ homes and 23 buildings.

An event for the local arty & crafty folk in Stratford. I'm lead to believe there are some amongst the engineers and scientists that obviously form the bulk of the population here. 🤔😂😂😂

Using hydrogen for low/medium temperature industrial process heat is by far the most expensive option available.
Our recent analysis shows that heat pumps coupled with electro-thermal storage is the most cost-effective technology.

Come to the Climate Hub in Stratford-upon-Avon (30 Meer Street) on Tuesday 25th November from 10.30am to discuss the rise in energy bills with Sian from Act on Energy www.actonenergy.org.uk/news/january...
Unfortunately, this rate is also higher than it was in January 2025, when the average annual bill was £1738, so your bills could be more than they were this time last year.

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented.
That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.
Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

Contrary to some media reports, heat pumps aren’t new tech — they’ve been around for 100+ years!
✅ First built in 1856 by Peter von Rittinger
✅ Zurich City Hall used one from 1938–2001
✅ UK’s first in 1945 (Norwich)
✅ ~200 million in use worldwide today

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers.
This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.
