PERFORMANCE The Restart Project is a social enterprise that aims to fix our relationship with electricals and electronics. Cofounder Janet Gunter says the first step in keeping household appliances for longer is regular cleaning. “By simply cleaning and maintaining your white goods, laptop or mobile, you will prolong its life.” Restart runs a nationwide network of skill-sharing workshops as well as promoting a directory of commercial repair options in London. (See also repaircafe.org for events in your area.) “If we don’t have access to spare parts,” says Gunter, “these appliances will be thrown away, which has a huge carbon impact.” Make the most of seasonal gluts and preserve vegetables in oils, vinegars, chutneys, ketchup and marinades, or freeze them. “Blitz and freeze tomatoes in containers for passata all year round; make kimchi from cauliflower stalks and leaves; use beetroot in jams, vinegars and oil, then chop stalks and leaves to top pastas, pizzas, curries and dal,” says Hunter. Finnish energy company Vatajankoski is an exception. "We want to find ways to fight climate change. We were looking at technologies for how to produce heat without burning fossil fuels and came across Polar Night Energy… It's a robust technology," says Pekka Passi, Vatajankosi's managing director who, like Naskali, believes that the battery's biggest potential is in industrial use.

You can now listen to more about Erika Benke's visit to the Vatajankoski power plant in this podcast by our colleagues on The Climate Question.According to independent energy comparison service U Switch, the cost of running your fridge and freezer equates to about 7% of your total energy bill (they are one of the few household energy devices that are on all the time). U Switch recommends replacing your fridge and/or freezer if it is over 10 years old. Even if it’s working, the cost of a new model will be made up for in energy savings over the years. Keep your fridge at 5C or less (most are kept at about 7C, which means food will go off sooner) and ensure there is a 10cm gap behind your fridge to let heat flow away easily. Make sure the seal is strong – if it can’t hold a piece of paper when shut, it could be letting in warm air, making it work harder. Any situation where regular access to concealed services is required. Performance Standards Howe Green | HSE 75 SUITABILITY Eronen says that by 2023 Polar Night Energy aims to be "a truly global company, constructing sand batteries all over the world". The huge boom in offshore wind power – by 2025 wind energy will cover 25% of Finland's electricity consumption - will help enable this, but there is still "a lot of work to do". Load rating 6.5 tonnes FACTA C supplied as standard or 11.5 tonnes FACTA D (equivalent to D400) available on request, to meet project requirements.

You can never have enough house plants,” says Oliver Heath, who runs a sustainable architecture practice. Certain plants are best for certain rooms: “Mother-in-law’s tongue gives off oxygen at night, which makes it best suited to the bedroom.” According to Chillingsworth, peace lilies and boston ferns thrive in rooms with high humidity and can reduce the mould spores in the air, making them ideal for bathrooms; weeping figs have been found to be the best plant for removing formaldehyde released from carpets and furniture, making them good for living areas. Letting your grass grow longer between cuts not only saves petrol or electricity, and therefore reduces carbon dioxide emissions, but also encourages more wildlife into your garden. Longer grass is more drought-resistant, too. Try cutting every three or four weeks and let dandelions, daisies and violets bloom in spring, followed by buttercups, clovers and selfheal in summer.

Screwed sideways into the floor to allow movement with a floating timber floor. TYPICAL FLOOR FINISHES

Chalklands is conveniently located to good amenities and is a short drive from Chelmsford and the surrounding villages, with good schools, transport links and is within easy access to the A12 & A130making this an ideal place to live! An internal viewing is advised to appreciate all that this property has to offer and the potential that could be utilised making this your forever home! (Ref: CHS220467) But the Polar Night Energy team face some big challenges: can they scale up their technology to really make a difference and can they use it to generate significant amounts of electricity in addition to heat? Made to your specification between stated maximum and minimum sizes, with no time or cost constraint. Commercial buildings, educational institutions, civic and public buildings subject to pedestrian footfall traffic where permanent access to underfloor facilities and services is required. MANUFACTURED TO REQUIREMENTBut how exactly does the battery stand up in terms of performance compared with other batteries, in particular its electrochemical counterpart: lithium-ion batteries? Then there are the environmental concerns. "Lithium has a much bigger environmental impact than sand," says Pongrácz. For every tonne of refined lithium produced, the equivalent of between around three and nine tonnes of CO2 is emitted, depending on how it is extracted.

Stainless Steel: double sealed / Aluminium: double sealed with an additional top edge dirt seal (triple sealed) If a year without buying anything new seems too big a challenge, try a month, or buy only secondhand. Livia Firth, founder of sustainability consultancy Eco-Age, follows the “30 wears rule”: ask, “Will I wear it at least 30 times?” before buying.This is for a significantly bigger system: 2MW in heating power and 500MWh in storage capacity. That's 10 times bigger than what we have in Kankaanpää," says Eronen. The 7500 Series is a popular choice for commercial and retail premises where a heavier loading or larger sized cover may be required.
