UK-based company Erda Energy and Black Mountain have signed a licensing deal to provide zero-carbon heating and cooling solutions for corporate clients in the country.
As part of the deal, Black Mountain has gained the licence for Erda Energy’s geo-exchange technology, which is a patented coaxial inclined borehole solution that captures the waste energy created in heating and cooling processes and stores it for use later.
The partnership will aim to enable businesses to save energy and reduce carbon impact.
Erda Energy noted that a four-year deployment of its technology at a UK food retailer has led to 28,000t of carbon emission reduction and savings of more than 160GWh of energy usage across its 25 stores.
Erda Energy managing director Kevin Stickney said: “The UK is waking up to the opportunities for decarbonising heat, and as policy catches up, businesses will increasingly look for the most cutting-edge solutions to decarbonise energy.
“Geo-exchange not only fits this bill but could also stimulate skilled jobs through growth in the British supply chain.
