Disused Cornish mines could heat county's homes
A £100,000 study will examine if abandoned Cornish mines can provide renewable and low-cost heating.
เว็บ 168 Bets with the minimum amount starting from 1 baht can be credited for free in order to be used as a bet.
The scheme will explore whether water in flooded mines can be used with heat pump technology to warm homes.
If successful, the county's 400 abandoned mines could improve options for off-gas grid communities - which account for half the county's homes.
It could also play a role in meeting Cornwall Council's ambitions to make Cornwall carbon neutral by 2030.
Stephen Rushworth, cabinet member for Economy at Cornwall Council, said half of the homes in Cornwall do not have access to mains gas and many are "not suitable for air source heat pumps without expensive energy efficiency measures".
He added: "This feasibility study could greatly improve options for our residents and further develop Cornwall's geothermal industry."
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy awarded £67,000 to Cornwall Council, housing association LiveWest and the National Trust to carry out a feasibility study.
Each organisation has pledged an additional £11,000 to the project, which is being carried out at Geevor, Levant and Botallack mines near Pendeen. |
