ust a few months into 2023 , it has grown increasingly apparent that the renewable energy journey – in particular , the issue of heating – cannot be addressed by one solution alone . Only by adopting a holistic approach towards renewables , and considering a range of tried and tested alternatives , will we be able to deploy the right method for each building and decarbonise heating more effectively by 2050 .
This is a topic that Russell Dean is particularly passionate about , having spent the past 18 years of his career at Mitsubishi Electric , 11 of which have been specialising in renewable heating .
“ In my current role as Residential Product Group Director , I am responsible for our Residential Heat Pump offering in the UK . I am also Vice President of the Sustainable Energy Association , which is a technology agnostic trade association offering innovative policy solutions that link up building-level technologies and the wider energy system to achieve a low carbon , secure energy future ,” Russell explains .
Mitsubishi Electric and sustainability “ At Mitsubishi Electric , we place sustainability at the heart of product development . Building services such as air conditioning , ventilation and heating can be significant energy users in all buildings .
