✍️ Flooded disused coalmines could be a significant source of energy and provide cheap heat to thousands of homes, according to a new report.
👉 MWGH systems use the water in flooded coalmines to supply low-carbon heat 👉 The technology has already been proved in Gateshead, where a 6MW MWGH system supplies 40% of the city's district heating network 👉 About a quarter of UK homes sit above flooded workings where MWGH could be used to provide low-cost heat 👉 MWGH could play a significant role in helping the UK meet its carbon reduction targets 👉 High-quality, specialist jobs could be created in drilling, engineering, and network management
