Heat

Season 8 Episode 5

Kathriona Devereux and Jonathan McCrea explore ways to decarbonise heating, from public buildings to private homes. They look at how district heating systems can be combined with heat pump technology to reduce Ireland's reliance on fossil fuels and reduce costs. They also meet researchers who discuss the geology behind geothermal energy, highlight projects investigating potential sources around Ireland - including a few surprising locations that have been using geothermal for decades - and discuss how heat from the Earth could form a crucial part of Ireland's supply-and-demand heating network

10 Things to Know About airs on RTE One at 8:05 AM, Sunday 28 September. (Subtitles, repeat.)
