Low-carbon environmental heat harvesting

Planet Heat wrote: It's really difficult to extract energy from (or dump it to) surface water because that water is dirtier than it appears. Traditionally it has to be abstracted (requiring a licence) and centrifugally filtered before it can be used. Our new method removes the need for abstraction and filtration, extracting the heat from the surface water using a small, energy-dense, submersible device. Over the past three years we have heated a real home using over 12 prototypes as proof-of-concept. We also have a published uk patent application (gb2553416a) and all the signs are that full scope of the claims will be granted... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
