London District Heating with Ammonia Heat Pumps

Eurammon provides a variety of case studies from its members showing that natural refrigerants can be used in various applications including logistics, food&beverage manufacturing, HVAC, sports&leisure, pharmaceutical and commercial refrigeration. This example from London is a blueprint for the use of waste heat from public facilities The Bunhill 2 Energy Centre in London is a pioneering district heating project developed by Islington Council in partnership with GEA and other stakeholders. Utilizing GEA’s ammonia heat pump technology, it captures waste heat from the London Underground to provide sustainable heating and hot water to over 1,350 homes, a primary school, and leisure centers. This project significantly cuts carbon emissions, improves air quality, and lowers energy costs for residents. It also aligns with Islington’s goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. The new energy center uses state-of-the-art technology on the site of a London Underground station that has been decommissioned for almost 100 years. The remains of the station, once known as City Road, have been converted into a huge underground air extraction system that draws warm air from the tunnels underneath.
