Why Thermal – The Challenge • "there has been a historic failure to get to grips with one enormous part of the energy jigsaw; the supply of low carbon heat. “ DECC Secretary of State • "we spend £32 billion a year on heating. It accounts for around a third of our greenhouse gas emissions. Without changing the way we produce and consume heat, we will not meet our long ‐ term climate change target. To get there, we are going to have to change the way we generate, distribute and use heat in buildings and industry.“ The Future of Heating: Meeting the challenge, DECC report 2013
Air conditioning: US uses as much electricity on air con as Africa uses on everything exajoules In 2010 Chinese consumers bought 50 million air conditioning units; more than the entire of the US current domestic air conditioning fleet
Food refrigeration: 1/3 of food is wasted between harvest and home – much due to imperfect refrigeration
