Hy4Heat: Hydrogen for Heating Demonstration Porgramme
The UK’s first homes with household appliances fuelled entirely by hydrogen are being built in Gateshead, funded in part by the government Hy4Heat innovation programme. The homes are built in Low Thornley, Gateshead and will open in April 2021. The Scheme is part of the UK’s Ten Point Plan, which also includes a Hydrogen neighbourhood.
The project secured a £250,000 grant from the government’s Hy4Heat Innovation programme and is being run by gas company Northern Gas Networks and Cadent, who have both also input £250,000 of funding each.
The houses are open to the… -

MEPS for Electrical driven multi heat pump-Central HVAC
VRF multi-split heat pumps were initially part of the High-efficiency Appliance Certification Program, however, it has been remarked that their energy efficiency drops when the length of pipe gets longer (up to 20~30%). Furthermore, the most of VRF multi-split heat pumps energy efficiency dropped under -15? (the actual winter temperature of Seoul). At 7? the heating efficiency(COP) was relatively high (3~3.8). But at -15?, the efficiency of general type models(heating efficiency is relatively high until -10?) dropped to similar levels of the worst heating appliances (electric stoves and electric fan heaters). The efficiency of…

New Green Savings program: Boiler subsidies for low income households
The New Green Savings program provides subsidies to low-income households to replace old solid fuel boilers. The government subsidy provides up to 95% for the purchase of a new ecological resource, including the provision of an advance for this investment. Other households (non-vulnerable target group) also have the opportunity to receive a lower subsidy (50%) for boiler replacement in the New Green Savings program.

Feeling the effects of the energy crisis
Four-day workweeks. Designated driving days. Fewer business trips. Across Southeast Asia, governments have been moving quickly to adopt measures that conserve fuel – highlighting the region’s exposure to the energy crisis caused by the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz. In this episode, Sue-Ern Tan, Head of the IEA’s Regional Cooperation Centre in Singapore, explains why countries in Southeast Asia are among the hardest hit by current energy supply disruptions. She discusses how rising prices and fuel shortages are already affecting daily life – and the steps governments are taking to help shield consumers from the worst…
