As part of a £64 million project, NottinghamUniversity Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) in Nottingham, England, is installing a new energy center that includes four high-efficiency heat pumps to capture heat from the ground to improve energy efficiency at the Queen's Medical Center.

The proposed geothermal heating and cooling system will utilize 64 boreholes, up to a depth of 250 meters, to derive energy from. Previously announced, the energy-saving scheme will also involve replacing the hospital's single-glazed windows, which have been in use since the Queen's Medical Center was built. Funding for the project comes from the third phase of the Public Sector Decarbonization Scheme launched by the UK's Energy Security and Zero Emissions Unit.

The new energy center will be built and operated by the European utility company E.ON. The company has several ongoing geothermal projects in Europe, particularly in Germany and Denmark.

According to NUH, the project will initially reduce the hospital's carbon emissions by 301 TP3T, which will increase to 431 TP3T with the eventual decommissioning of the hospital's gas heating system.

NUH is one of a growing number of UK National Health Service (NHS) facilities turning to geothermal energy. A few months ago, SalisburyDistrict Hospital NHS Trust in Wiltshire partnered with GT Energy to develop and operate a geothermal heating plant to meet all of the hospital's heating needs.

Accordingto the NUH, the project will reduce the carbon emissions of the hospital by 30% initially, and that this would increase to 43% with the eventual decommissioning of the hospital's gas-fired heating system.

TheNUH is one of a growing list of NHS facilities that are transitioning to geothermal energy. A few months ago, the Salisbury District Hospital NHS Trust in Wiltshire engaged GT Energy todevelop and operate a geothermal heat plantto fulfill the full heat requirements of the hospital.
