Carbon Emission Savings
A consortium of 315 top institutional investors aims to reduce carbon emissions
Carbon Disclosure Project
Many large corporations have joined the Carbon Disclosure Project to explain how they aim to reduce their carbon emissions – and to encourage others to do the same. CDP seeks information on the business risks and opportunities presented by climate change and greenhouse gas emissions from the world's largest companies.
Human beings are rapidly burning the fossil fuel reserves that were laid down by nature over millions of years and risking the unpredictable consequences of causing rapid climate change.
Most corporations now recognise the problem and are striving to find ways to limit their carbon emissions.
While it is difficult to find alternatives to using fossil fuels for transportation, there is now a practical alternative method of heating buildings without burning fossil fuels. Interseasonal Heat Transfer can now be used to provide on site renewable energy to heat buildings without burning carbon fuels. Interseasonal Heat Transfer captures surplus solar energy in the summer and stores it in a ThermalBank for release when it is needed to heat buildings in winter.
Interseasonal Heat Transfer also captures cold on winter nights, stores this in ThermalBanks™ in the ground and releases it to cool buildings in summer. This is a more natural form of cooling with a much lower carbon footprint than the standard solution of providing air conditioning powered by electric chillers.
Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ is ideally suited to well insulated new buildings.
Carbon Emission Savings
Interseasonal Heat Transfer can save over 50% of carbon emissions compared to using a gas boiler for heating.
Interseasonal Heat Transfer can save over 80% of carbon emissions compared to using standard air conditioning and chillers for cooling.
