An industrial museum in Leiston is planning to install a new heat pump as part of the market town s ambition to have a zero-carbon output.
The Long Shop Museum, in Main Street, has applied to East Suffolk Council to seek permission to replace its gas boiler with the 7kW air-source heat pump.
Heat pumps perform a similar function to boilers, but they do not produce carbon emissions when in use.
Net Zero Leiston, an initiave between Leiston-cum-Sizewell Town Council and the Leiston Together Board, is aiming to reduce emissions in the area.
