24 Heat Pump News
Sponsored by: Star rises in environmental awards
STAR RENEWABLE ENERGY has been shortlisted for a Cleantech Award.
The Glasgow manufacturers responsible for the invention of the world’s largest zero carbon 90°C district heat pump has been selected for the award, with the chance of winning £20,000 to go towards the next project.
Cleantech Innovate Scotland has lined up a collection of the best commercial green technology innovations produced in Scotland. Twenty five finalists will compete for the prize in a showcase that will be held in Glasgow on 4 June 2015.
Star Renewable Energy will present live the Neatpump technology, an industrial heat pump that uses rivers, lakes, reservoirs and the sea to generate heating and cooling while balancing the grid, to a group of investors, buyers and industry specialists at Glasgow’s Technology Innovation Centre. Fergus Ewing MSP, Minister for Energy, Business
& Tourism who will be a keynote speaker on 4 June, referred to the event as “a great opportunity for companies in Scotland to showcase their pioneering solutions being developed in the cleantech sector and to collaborate and network with investors.
The transition to a low carbon economy presents enormous economic opportunities for companies to develop and implement new technologies. The Scottish Government is committed to supporting businesses across Scotland to realise these opportunities.”
The green credentials of the Neatpump have been highlighted to good effect with the groundbreaking deployment of the industrial district heating system in Drammen, a Norwegian city with 65,000 people that draw on the pioneering technology built on the Clyde to heat the whole city, including its businesses, hospitals and
schools with water from the local fjord.
David Pearson, director of Star Renewable Energy who will be presenting the technology at the event said: “In Drammen, the Neat pump provides annual savings of around €2m and overall annual carbon savings equivalent to driving 2080 times around the globe. In Scotland, heat pumps have the potential to save Scottish businesses £250 million a year.
Neatpumps can reach an efficiency of 7, which means that for one unit of electricity, 4 units of heat and 3 units of cooling are generated. Furthermore Neatpumps reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 68 % compared to gas boilers or even 87% by the year 2035, when the national grid becomes less carbon intensive.
In 2007, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said “ammonia heatpumps were promising but impossible
above 70°C”. Four years later, the 13 MW Neatpump using zero carbon ammonia and heating up to 90°C was commissioned in Norway. Mr Pearson believes their innovation has a strong chance of winning, “We have proven the Neatpump is financially viable and provides carbon reductions without local emissions from combustion. Yet consumer acceptability is still a market barrier in the UK. In order to fund the capital required for the solution, Star Renewable Energy aims to establish an Energy Supply Company (ESCO) and it is in this, the company seeks partners and investors. The business model is based on heat sale to the consumer, removing the initial capital investment burden and offering saving from day one. A typical £1m project would yield £250k/a for 20 years making this business opportunity a solid investment.”

MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC IS holding a series of seminars around the country to highlight the support on offer to installers in promoting and working with its Ecodan heat pump technology.
The half-day events will look at what makes Ecodan unique, focus on the bespoke
quotation tool and the Ecodan FTC5 range, and provide a detailed look at the company’s comprehensive installation and after sales support. The seminars will also introduce potential Ecodan installers to the Mitsubishi Electric Partner Programme and explain how this can
assist in the creation of sales opportunities in both the domestic and commercial sectors.
Guest speakers from Easy MCS and Certsure will also be on hand to offer advice on becoming MCS approved or maintaining MCS status, a pre-requisite for installations
that are looking to claim the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).
All seminars start at 9:15am and finish at 1pm, with lunch and refreshments included. Registration is from 8.45am.
