06/04/2010 GSHP Association backs Renewable Manifesto

New Energy Focus reports that: Nine of the UK's leading renewable energy trade associations, including RenewableUK and the Renewable Energy Association (REA), have jointly launched a General Election manifesto outlining steps the next government should take to deliver the UK's target of producing 15% of energy from renewable sources by 2020.

The document, 'The Zero Carbon Switch: Joint Manifesto for Renewables', was published last week (April 1) and outlines 12 proposals for the delivery of the targets, as well as urging the government to act now to address the "looming energy and climate crisis".

This newsletter is assembled by Robin Curtis who has a vested interest in this technology and currently works for EarthEnergy Limited - a UK promoter of ground source heat pumps. Notwithstanding - this informal newsletter is intended to provide a focus for all UK activity on ground coupled, water source heating and cooling technology for buildings. This is variously referred to as earth coupled systems, geothermal heat pumps, earth energy systems, closed loop ground source heat pumps etc.

If you have any comments or contributions please do not hesitate to contact the author. Provided that items that you wish to submit are of relevance to the technology I will endeavour to incorporate them as quickly as possible - other commitments permitting.
