CLEAN : Abandoned UK coalmine fuels green energy 'revolution'

The video discusses a sustainable heating project using heat from old mine workings. It explains how heat pumps extract heat from water at 20 degrees Celsius, providing a carbon-neutral heating system. The project, based in County Durham, aims to expand across the UK and globally. It highlights the potential for community benefits and infrastructure development, supported by government grants. The pumping station's capacity is emphasized, showcasing its ability to heat numerous homes and businesses.
