Giant ice sculpture unveiled in London
Coming just ahead of London Climate Action Week and intended to help raise awareness of the zero carbon innovation being installed right below the area, sculptors carved a collection of five key London landmarks into the towering 20-ton sculpture.
They all sit above a representation of a network of pipes connected to heat pumps, illustrating the energy network which covers more than 10 miles of underground pipes and provides both heating and cooling.
Michael Lewis, E.on’s UK CEO, said: “I’d imagine very few of us have stopped to think about the remarkable energy network that exists right here in the City of London.
“But subterranean solutions like our new £4million heat pumps are crucial in cutting carbon emissions, improving local air quality and helping us reach the nation’s net zero targets.
“Through the technology and team at our Citigen site, we’re recycling the waste heat that’s produced as electricity is generated, as well as drawing up the earth’s natural warmth from 218 yards below the City’s streets.
