Welcome to 3 new HeatSource champions


We're excited to announce the arrival of three new HeatSource Champions. These startups are on a mission to revolutionize the energy industry with their solutions for the sustainable and efficient heating sector. 

Sustainability & Remanufacturing Workshop
In person | 14th Feb

 

In Scotland, we are committed to net zero emissions by 2045 – a date 5 years more ambitious than most other countries. For this target to be achieved, Scotland needs to lead the way. EXTEND project and The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) want to support Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) to make positive changes in their business models, their supply chains, through to the practical skills for recording, monitoring, and sharing their progress towards net zero.

Remanufacturing is one of the key drivers to making this possible. Utilising remanufacturing techniques effectively can generate huge savings in industrial emissions and cost in comparison to brand-new products.

This in-person workshop will provide SME's with an understanding of Scotland's most pressing sustainability issues, as well as assistance with carbon auditing, energy reporting and training on sustainability decision-making tools, including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

The workshop will take place at the HALO Enterprise & Innovation Hub in Kilmarnock, Tuesday 14th February. There will be a networking lunch.

Major heat pump trial for UK homes more than ten times oversubscribed

 
A heat pump installation trial led by the Energy Systems Catapult garnered more than 8,800 applications for a maximum of 750 places, and has proven common misconceptions about the perceived impracticality of heat pumps wrong.

Jonathan Daly decided to diversify his business, Acer Mechanical Services Ltd, into heat pumps and apply for the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).

Since diversifying, he's seen a spike in demand for heat pumps, and that’s only likely to increase as we approach 2030.
