Fantastic news that Dermot Cotter, Managing Director of Star Technical Solutions has been awarded The IOR Kenneth Lightfoot Medal!
Congratulations Dermot 🤩👏🏻
♨️💧 “We’re using the canal to heat some of Liverpool’s most iconic buildings - it’s a game-changer for low-carbon energy.”
The new Mersey Heat Energy Centre will harness water from the Leeds & Liverpool Canal to heat buildings like the Cunard, Georges Dock & Museum of Liverpool — cutting 4,200 tonnes of carbon a year.
🎥 Watch how this pioneering scheme is transforming the waterfront.

🔥 A major step towards net zero! The new Mersey Heat Energy Centre at Liverpool Waters’ Princes Dock is now open—harnessing low-carbon energy from the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.
Backed by £7.5m government funding, the centre will deliver clean, efficient heating to homes, businesses & public buildings—cutting carbon emissions by 4,200 tonnes annually. 🌍
👏 Huge credit to The Peel Group, Ener-Vate, Vital Energi, and Star Refrigeration for bringing this to life.

🔧Cutting-edge tech at Star Refrigeration’s Queen’s Quay heat pump is powering local homes - hamstrung by an energy system that isn’t ready to maximise flexibility. We need smarter electricity use to run it when demand is low & #Renewables are abundant!
Yesterday I had the privilege of visiting the formidable industrial heat pump taking heat from the #RiverClyde, coupling it with electricity from Scottish wind & heating #Glasgows homes and public buildings
Thank you @wasteheatuser for showing me round! @StarRefrig@electrifygb
Ofgem has awarded over £3m in funding to a new project, GeoGrid.
It'll use the university’s Geothermal Campus to understand how thermal energy storage can improve energy and heating systems across the UK.

@NorwichSociety delighted to be with you today.
The challenge is clear.
The ambition is clear.
How do we make the solutions clear? And bring policies to work FOR these solutions not against them?
Hopefully I’ll say something sensible in my contribution later on.
We are delighted to be shortlisted for the Investors in People Awards for 'UK Employer of the year (250 people): Platinum'!
A big thank you to our amazing team for making Star Refrigeration a great place to work!

Replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump in the UK cuts emissions by 77-86%.
This includes the embodied emissions from manufacturing the heat pump.
This means the heat pump would offset its embodied carbon after 13 months.

“Heat pumps are superior in efficiency to condensing boilers, even if the heat pumps are powered by electricity from a power station burning natural gas.”
Not me saying that but the late Prof Sir David MacKay.

Icerinks and swimming pools make perfect sense as heat recovery from the icerink can heat the swimming pool. @StarRefrig can help with design and try and improve projected costs. we built the original one way back in the late 80s. first time driving my dad's car. ❤️
Beautiful evening for footy training. Huge thanks go out to @StarRefrig for sponsoring all @Fellside_United home matches this season and funding our training kit.
Thanks also to @HobsRepro for the match day sign graphics
