Leveraging advanced graphene technology, Haydale is piloting an underfloor heating solution with Jersey Energy Technologies.
- The technology promises up to 30% reduced operating costs compared to traditional systems.
- Aimed at improving energy efficiency in social housing, the trial takes place this winter.
- The partnership showcases potential for wider application across the Channel Islands.
- Success could lead to phased rollouts in various homes and buildings.
Haydale, a leader in advanced materials and nanotechnology innovation, is entering a pilot trial in Jersey deploying its latest underfloor heating technology. This initiative is a collaboration with Jersey Energy Technologies, a start-up committed to energy efficiency. The underfloor heating system utilises Haydale’s proprietary graphene technology, enabling higher thermal conductivity compared to conventional wired systems.
Data from the trials suggest that this advanced system could potentially reduce operating costs by up to 30%—an impressive feat considering the constant demand for sustainable energy solutions. The system’s ability to heat uniformly and its improvements in flexibility and durability mark a significant technological advancement, promising reduced costs for residents.
This winter’s pilot trial will evaluate the system’s real-world efficiency, with results anticipated in the new year. Jersey Energy Technologies has secured exclusive distribution rights in the Channel Islands, indicating substantial commercial interest. If successful, phased rollouts in various homes might follow, capitalising on the system’s eco-friendly attributes to reduce both heating costs and environmental impact.
Keith Broadbent, chief executive of Haydale, remarked on the significance of their collaboration with Jersey Energy Technologies, stating that the project underlines their commitment to innovation and sustainability. ‘Our underfloor heating system not only provides superior comfort but also represents a potentially significant step forward in reducing environmental impact and energy costs,’ he noted.
The adoption of this advanced technology aligns with Jersey Energy Technologies’ mission to offer sustainable living solutions. Founder George Eves expressed excitement about setting new standards for social housing through this initiative, planning to incorporate the technology into new builds and retrofit projects.
Haydale’s recent exploration into carbon capture technology, in collaboration with Carbon Capture LLC, further underscores its forward-thinking approach. Early studies suggest graphene’s potential in this field, positioning Haydale at the cutting edge of both energy and environmental technology innovations.
The Jersey trial represents a significant step in potentially redefining efficient residential heating solutions with Haydale’s graphene-based technology.
