"I have just joined your party and look forward to good results in the coming election.
Please give time to this suggestion and forward to your relevant department.
HEAT CAPTURE NOT CARBON CAPTURE!
Our gas power stations, and previously our coal stations, throw out half of the energy they burn into the atmosphere as heat, as a wasted by product of electricity generation.
A major consumption of energy is making heat for industry, major buildings and domestic.
Government policy suggests we give up gas for domestic gas boilers and turn to air source heat pumps.
Much better solution would be to promote fuel cell boilers for industry and domestic use.
Every time you call for heat, this fuel cell would produce electricity as a by product for local use or to be dumped into the grid. Much less waste.
In theory this would require no more gas power stations and halve the CO2 emissions attributed to heating and therefore indirectly captures Carbon!
And it is cheaper for the consumer and a lot of other benefits."
