Solar Photovoltaic (PV) modules produced by the company are now eligible for grants of up to 50% towards ... [more]
Spending money on energy efficiency improvements will save money in operating costs(16/03/2009)
The current global uncertainties and economic pressures could act as an incentive for business to examine environmental aspects rather than turn away from them. “When the going gets tough companies naturally look at where they can cut costs and in the past, this has meant that things like the ‘environment’ or ‘being green’ have lost their importance during times of turbulence,” Mitsubishi Electric’s new Marketing Manager, Richard Cooper explai...

Creating sustainable cities(05/08/2008)
Although not usually considered as being ‘green’, cities in the UK are focusing all of their attention on lowering carbon emissions and the results are setting a benchmark for the rest of the country. UK cities are currently responsible for 30% of the country’s carbon emissions, which represents 140 million tonnes annually. This has been recognised and they are now leading the way by cutting energy use, reducing CO2 emissions and supporting t... [more]
CHP has the potential to make a major contribution to the UK's carbon emission reduction campaign(10/07/2008)
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is a very energy efficient way to produce power and heat, which can use either fossil fuels or renewable sources. These systems can convert up to 90% of the energy in the fuel into electrical power and heat. CHP is high efficiency technology strongly backed by the UK Government, which has set a target of 10,000 MW of installed CHP capacity by 2010. Figures show that every 1 MW of CHP operating in the UK helps to ... [more]
Microgeneration to include air source heat pumps(20/06/2008)
The House of Lords has agreed to support the expansion of the statutory definition of ‘microgeneration’ to include air source heat pumps in a debate held earlier this week. John Kellett, the General Manager of Mitsubishi Electric’s Heating Department welcomed this news: “If we are truly to do something about the country’s carbon emissions then we must find ways of helping the consumer be green and heat pumps offer us that potential,” explained Jo...
