Decarbonisation is all about reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) we release into the atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps heat, making our planet warmer, which leads to climate change. Most of this CO2 comes from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas for energy. To decarbonise, we need to use less of these polluting fuels and switch to cleaner, renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Think of it as cleaning up our energy supply so it doesn’t harm the environment.
The burning of fossil fuels for energy production is the largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. This causes extreme weather, rising sea levels, and affects our health and economy. Decarbonisation aims to reduce these emissions, slowing down climate change and minimising its impact.
Net zero is like balancing a scale. On one side, you have the CO2 we put into the air through activities like driving cars, heating our homes, and running factories. On the other side, you have efforts to remove CO2 from the air, like planting trees or using technology to capture carbon. When the two sides are equal, and no extra CO2 is added to the atmosphere, we’ve achieved net zero.
Getting to net zero isn’t about stopping all emissions overnight, it’s about reducing them as much as possible and balancing out what’s left.
In simple terms, decarbonisation is about using cleaner energy and producing less pollution, while net zero is the ultimate goal of balancing out all the CO2 we produce with actions that remove it. By understanding and participating in these efforts, we can all help protect our planet for the future.
Our range of energy-saving technologies are designed to reduce your carbon footprint, lower your energy costs, and contribute to global decarbonisation efforts.
Harness the power of the sun with our solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Solar PV technology converts sunlight directly into electricity, providing a renewable and sustainable energy source for your home or business. By generating your own clean energy, you can significantly reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and lower your carbon footprint.
Our Qcells solar PV systems and home batteries seamlessly integrate with our ELKATHERM® electric radiators and Sunamp hot water batteries.
Our ELKATHERM® electric radiators are designed to provide optimal warmth with minimal energy consumption. Unlike traditional heating systems that rely on burning fossil fuels, ELKATHERM® radiators use electricity, which can be sourced from renewable energy, making them a greener alternative to keeping your home or business comfortable while reducing CO2 emissions. You could even heat your home for free by combining an ELKATHERM® heating system with our Qcells solar systems. They also boast a German A++ energy rating, and have a range of energy-saving features including open window detection and zoned heating.
Sunamp Thermino heat batteries deliver cascades of hot water, on demand, and at mains pressure. They’re packed with modern electric water heating technology. Their advanced phase change material retains up to four times more heat than water. Once charged, the heat can be released instantly at high pressure, quietly delivering your hot water in a cleaner and smarter way whenever you need it. As much as 75% of annual domestic hot water can be provided when using Sunamp in combination with solar PV.
Decarbonisation and achieving net zero are critical goals for mitigating climate change and protecting our planet. We’re proud to offer products that not only save you money, but also contribute to a sustainable future.
Achieving net zero is a journey that requires commitment, planning, and the right tools. HeatElectric is here to support you every step of the way. By choosing our energy-efficient systems, you’re not just investing in your property – you’re investing in the future of our planet.
