Matt had the chance to chat with Dr. Ramin Mehdipour and Professor Seamus Garvey from the University of Nottingham about their research into ice source heat pumps. They have a novel idea for reusing the UK’s natural gas pipe network to deliver non-potable water into heat pumps for heat. The coolest part of the idea is just that … they turn the water into ice to make the heat.
