Our findings prove that ground-water source heat pumps are a technically viable low-carbon heating solution in many towns and cities across the UK, providing the geology beneath the surface is favourable

A BBC article covers the outcomes of a study related to our project MUSE, which investigated the groundwater in Cardiff, UK. The British Geological Survey (BGS) examined the impact of a groundwater heating system on the natural groundwater system below the city.
