In response to the recent Heat and Buildings Strategy announcement, Rinnai Operations Director Chris Goggin comments: ‘Rinnai welcomes the UK “Heat and Buildings Strategy,” as it outlines a route to a green industrial revolution that enables the delivery of a lower carbon future and achievement of NetZero targets.’
In preparation for a national shift in domestic and commercial heating – the Energy Transition – Rinnai has updated specific models to accept multiple sources of fuel. The company’s products can currently accept LPG, BioLPG and 30% hydrogen gas blends. On top of this, from the start of 2022 they will be offering a complete solution to include heat pumps, Hybrid systems and Hydrogen ready products – the technologies will launch the company’s H3 initiative.
Chris says: “Rinnai fully and totally supports all aspects of decarbonisation and are continuously adjusting our range of products accordingly. We continue to closely monitor the energy sector and inform all customers – end users, contractors, installer, heating engineers, consultants, designers, central and local authorities – of any developments that may affect choice and cost.
“We are clearly motivated to supply all these customers with the best solutions for the delivery of limitless temperature accurate hot water delivery.”
Introducing hydrogen into the national gas grid is underway but requires a field of strenuous testing before any regional influence will be denoted. Hydrogen, though, does appeal to the UK government for its practicality and growing international reputation as a major tool in decarbonisation. An ambitious proposal to produce five gigawatts of hydrogen by 2030 has been outlined, alongside the plan to heat an entire town with low-carbon hydrogen fuel around the same time.
Rinnai says it is well placed to deliver commercial heating and hot water needs and states that its products are energy and cost efficient, only incurring cost and use fuel when operationally active.
