Through heat pump technology, Sharc produces renewable thermal energy for commercial buildings, cutting down on costs and carbon emissions.
“We are delighted that IWS has become the latest company to choose Clyde Gateway, in this case as the location for its new European headquarters,” said Clyde Gateway chief executive Ian Manson.
He added: “It is particularly exciting as Sharc Energy Systems will also be carrying out work to install its technology at our Magenta and Dalmarnock developments. Sharc Energy Systems plans to use a significant waste water resource, located right in the heart of our regeneration area, to heat and cool buildings that we are looking to develop, which will have significant benefits for the Clyde Gateway area in terms of energy and cost savings.”
IWS chief operating officer Russ Burton said: “With a potential heating demand of 22 megawatts, the Clyde Gateway development creates an opportunity for Sharc to demonstrate the capacity of our technology to deliver a truly carbon efficient district heat network service.”
