Geothermal heat pumps, also known as ground source heat pumps, is a central system which transfers heat from or to the ground and can be used for heating and/or cooling. Since the RHI domestic program was formally launched in April 2014, oil was the most common fuel to be replaced by geothermal heat pumps, accounting with 27 percent of the fuel types displaced by this renewable technology.
Great Britain has begun a transformation to a low carbon heat system, launching the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in 2011 and further implementing RHI in the domestic sector in 2014. A large proportion of RHI applications and accreditations are located in Scotland. Under the RHI, fossil fuels have been replaced by air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, biomass and solar thermal systems.
