Big Tent Ideas Festival – Saturday 8th September

Tech Tent debate – 12 noon

Taking the heat out of climate change

Climate change, accelerated by high greenhouse gas emissions, is REAL. The UK has committed to legally binding targets on significant emissions reductions by 2050 – but we are nowhere near on target. Although good progress has been made on power generation, emissions from building heating remain virtually unchanged and are a critical problem. Guy Ransom, Commercial Director of Finn Geotherm, supports the Climate Change Committee’s view that heat pump systems could go long way to solving this issue, as well as reducing fuel poverty. Representatives from the Sustainable Energy Association and others will join in the debate on why this is/is not that simple.
