Previously untapped heat from a mine water treatment scheme in Wales is now being harnessed to provide low-carbon heating. The mine water is naturally warm due to geothermal energy from the earth’s crust and heat retained from its time circulating through underground rock layers and former coal mines. An innovative project utilises heat exchangers in the mine water treatment settlement ponds to recover heat, which is then transferred to a nearby industrial unit to supply low-carbon heating and hot water.
