Rinnai's Chris Goggin examines the government's 'Powering Up Britain' documentation and plans to target NetZero by 2050.

'Powering Up Britain' is the government's own initiative for a national plan to achieve cheaper and safer fossil fuels, decarbonisation and a NetZero target by 2050. 'Powering Up Britain' sets out a path of information and security power and zero. and serves as a prelude to Powering Up Britain: Energy Security Plan and Powering Up Britain: Net Zero Growth Plan, which support and should be read side by side. These documents were created after legal issues from what can be described neutrally as a "green room" - a combination of climate groups of interest. Major media have taken their own view on this. For example, the BBC reported: “The government was forced to publish a new zero-emissions plan after the High Court ruled that the original plan was insufficient and breached the government's mandate under the Climate Change Act. "

HEAT-PUMP-JAN-2023-colour-change.gifThe newly released government document has received criticism from academics and environmentalists who argue that the newly created document is a distortion of NetZero's previous status and goals.

In order to maintain the national fuel supply and decarbonise domestic energy, the UK government has announced that it will phase out fossil fuels and continue to use renewable energy such as wind, waves and solar as it increase nuclear power.

The production and distribution of hydrogen will also be more useful, because the government wants to specify the CCUS (underground carbon storage used for the production of blue hydrogen) and the development of green hydrogen - two types of hydrogen can be used for industrial and possible. room temperature applied.

The new plan also sets out the following objectives:

  • insulating 300,000 of the UK's worst insulated homes as part of a £1bn energy efficiency programme
  • aiming to remove between 20m and 30m tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere by 2030.
  • providing more than £350m for electric vehicle charging facilities
  • aiming to produce 25% of the UK's electricity through nuclear power by 2050
  • speeding up the planning process for wind farms and solar energy sites

​​​​​​​​​​One of the main goals of the 'Powering Up Britain' plan focuses on bringing electricity costs to the lowest level in Europe by 2035. The UK Energy Authority believes that electricity is clean and sustainable now. this is the best way to reduce the customer's costs and carbon emissions. We believe that manufacturers must adapt and offer the market the variety and quality of products necessary to reduce carbon emissions in a practical, technological and economic way today.

Rinnai has revamped its business line with low-carbon building products including manufacturing-supporting technologies. We now offer a range of products and systems compatible with electricity, natural gas, hydrogen mixture, BioLPG, rDME, solar and heat pumps - all commercial heating and water heating systems.

For example, all Rinnai electric heaters are designed with flexibility in mind. All units are available in one and six white titanium. The Kw display of the Infinit-E range can be extended from 12kW to 72kW, ensuring that our devices are suitable for a variety of applications.

The overall Rinnai range is branded as H1, H2 & H3.

H1 – Hydrogen, BioLPG – water heaters & boilers.

H2 - Hybrid Systems – Heat Pumps and Solar Thermal.

H3- Heat Pumps – Low GWP.

Rinnai understands the green direction of current and future energy needs as well as the cost of living problems that have seen fuel prices reach extremes. Not only that Rinnai has now updated its line to include hydrogen-ready technology and products that embrace renewable energy such as solar and hybrid power pumps. Energy options will continue to expand across the UK and Rinnai will continue to develop products and technologies that will quickly provide customers with reduced emissions and bills for their business or residential property. Rinnai's H3 line will continue to meet today's consumer needs through technological innovation that creates a healthier lifestyle.
