How flooded coal mines could heat homes

Coal mines were the beating heart of Britain's industrial revolution. Their sooty, energy-dense output gave life to new-fangled factories and shipyards, fueling the nation's march towards modernity. They helped shape a carbon-intensive economy, one that took little notice of the natural world around it. The mines paved the way for a global dependence on fossil fuels, and in doing so, fired the starting pistol on the climate crisis that today confronts us all.

But what if, in a serendipitous circle of history, our extractive past could be repurposed for a greener, cleaner future? What if the vast maze of coal mines beneath our feet, now filled with naturally warm water, could help decarbonize the UK's – and the world's – herculean heating needs?

That's the question Adam Black, a renewable energy enthusiast employed by one of Britain's largest bottling firms, asked himself a decade ago. "I had about 400,000 sq ft [37,000 sq m] of warehouse that needed heating," says the director of energy projects at Durham-based Lanchester Wines. "And it was right over four layers of mine workings, which had naturally flooded over time."

With the help of a few geothermal experts from Iceland, Black sunk a borehole into the murky depths of the old High Main coal seam in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England. Warmed by natural geological processes, the water they pumped to the surface was a pleasant 15 oC (59 oF).

With a little supplemental warmth from an electrical heat pump – "a bit like a fridge in reverse" – it was perfect for keeping the company's warehouse, and the millions of wine bottles within, at the right temperature.

How flooded coal mines could heat homes
Como minas de carvão inundadas poderiam aquecer casas

Coal mines were the beating heart of Britain's industrial revolution. As minas de carvão foram o coração pulsante da revolução industrial britânica.

Their sooty, energy-dense output gave life to new-fangled factories and shipyards, fueling the nation's march towards modernity. A sua produção fuliginosa (cheia de fuligem) e densa em energia, deu vida as novíssimas fábricas e estaleiros, abastecendo a marcha da nação em direção à modernidade. 

They helped shape a carbon-intensive economy, one that took little notice of the natural world around it. Elas (as minas de carvão) ajudaram a moldar uma economia intensiva em carbono, que prestava pouca atenção ao mundo natural que a rodeava.

The mines paved the way for a global dependence on fossil fuels, and in doing so, fired the starting pistol on the climate crisis that today confronts us all.As minas abriram caminho para uma dependência global dos combustíveis fósseis e, ao fazê-lo, deu a largada para a crise climática que hoje enfrentamos a todos nós.

But what if, in a serendipitous circle of history, our extractive past could be repurposed for a greener, cleaner future? Mas e se, em um círculo fortuito da história, o nosso passado extrativista pudesse ser reaproveitado para um futuro mais verde e limpo?

What if the vast maze of coal mines beneath our feet, now filled with naturally warm water, could help decarbonize the UK's – and the world's – herculean heating needs? E se o vasto labirinto de minas de carvão sob os nossos pés, agora cheio de água naturalmente quente, pudesse ajudar a descarbonizar as enormes necessidades de aquecimento do Reino Unido – e do mundo?

That's the question Adam Black, a renewable energy enthusiast employed by one of Britain's largest bottling firms, asked himself a decade ago. Essa é a pergunta que Adam Black, um entusiasta das energias renováveis, empregado de uma das maiores empresas de engarrafamento da Grã-Bretanha, se fez há uma década.

"I had about 400,000 sq ft [37,000 sq m] of warehouse that needed heating," says the director of energy projects at Durham-based Lanchester Wines. "And it was right over four layers of mine workings, which had naturally flooded over time." “Eu tinha cerca de 37.000 m² de armazém que precisava de aquecimento”, diz o diretor de projetos de energia da Lanchester Wines, com sede em Durham. "E estava bem acima de quatro camadas de minas, que inundaram naturalmente com o tempo."

With the help of a few geothermal experts from Iceland, Black sunk a borehole into the murky depths of the old High Main coal seam in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England. Com a ajuda de alguns especialistas geotérmicos da Islândia, Black cavou um poço nas profundezas escuras da antiga jazida de carvão High Main em Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, Inglaterra.

Warmed by natural geological processes, the water they pumped to the surface was a pleasant 15 oC (59 oF). Aquecida por processos geológicos naturais, a água que bombeavam para a superfície estava a agradáveis 15 oC (59 oF).

With a little supplemental warmth from an electrical heat pump – "a bit like a fridge in reverse" – it was perfect for keeping the company's warehouse, and the millions of wine bottles within, at the right temperature. Com um pouco de aquecimento suplementar (=extra) proveniente de uma bomba elétrica de calor – “parecida com uma geladeira reversa(=ao contrário)” – era perfeito para manter o armazém da empresa e os milhões de garrafas de vinho no seu interior à temperatura certa.

❑ TEXTO: The following text refers to questions 83 to 85.

Kevin Adkins almost kicked the Ice Age skull to the side because he thought it was just debris from a recent flood – then he saw that it had teeth.

When Kevin Adkins took his father-in-law, Tony Hager, on his first turkey hunt on May 8, 2022, the two West Virginians spotted an animal skull in a Putnam County creek. Covered in mud from a flood that had hit the region two days earlier, it was initially unidentifiable. So Adkins took it home – and later learned that it belonged to an 11,000-year-old giant sloth.
While 36-year-old Adkins had hunted turkeys in Putnam County plenty of times before, he had never come across something like this. Trudging through the muddy wilderness, the Red House resident and his father-in-law were primarily interested in nabbing some wild birds when they encountered the relic.
“We were running and gunning for toms,” Adkins told Outdoor Life. “We’d worked a gobbler for about 30 minutes, then the bird moved off, so we picked up and headed up the creek. I looked down in the middle of the creek as we crossed it and saw a big blob of something I thought was a root ball, so I almost kicked it away.”
“But I noticed something different about it and looked closer,” Adkins went on. “That’s when I saw some molar teeth, so I picked it up.”
Determined not to let the potential find of a lifetime distract from his turkey hunt, Adkins propped the skull next to the creek and forged ahead. When he and Hager concluded their hunt later that morning, they retrieved the skull and carried it home.
“[My wife] thought it was a cow skull because it was so big,” Adkins said. The skull weighed about 30 pounds and sported tufts of hair. It had four molar teeth on either side of its jawbone.
“But my father-in-law said no, it was something very different,” continued Adkins. “That’s when we started searching the internet, sending photos to family and friends, and then I posted it on social media. That really got things moving along with trying to ID what I’d found.”

❑ TRADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:
Kevin Adkins almost kicked the Ice Age skull to the side because he thought it was just debris from a recent flood – then he saw that it had teeth.
Kevin Adkins quase que chutou o crânio da Idade do Gelo para o lado porque ele pensou que eram apenas destroços de uma enchente recente – então aí ele viu que o crânio tinha dentes.

When Kevin Adkins took his father-in-law, Tony Hager, on his first turkey hunt on May 8, 2022, the two West Virginians spotted an animal skull in a Putnam County creek.
Quando Kevin Adkins levou seu sogro, Tony Hager, em sua primeira caça de peru em 8 de maio de 2022, os dois habitantes da Virgínia Ocidental avistaram um crânio de animal em um riacho do condado de Putnam.

Covered in mud from a flood that had hit the region two days earlier, it was initially unidentifiable.
Coberto de lama devido a uma enchente que atingiu a região dois dias antes, inicialmente não era identificável.

So Adkins took it home – and later learned that it belonged to an 11,000-year-old giant sloth.
Então Adkins levou o crânio para casa – e mais tarde descobriu que ele pertencia a um bicho-preguiça gigante de 11 mil anos.

While 36-year-old Adkins had hunted turkeys in Putnam County plenty of times before, he had never come across something like this.
Embora Adkins, de 36 anos, já tivesse caçado perus no condado de Putnam muitas vezes antes, ele nunca havia se deparado com algo assim.

Trudging through the muddy wilderness, the Red House resident and his father-in-law were primarily interested in nabbing some wild birds when they encountered the relic.
Caminhando com dificuldade pela floresta lamacenta, o residente da Casa Vermelha e seu sogro estavam principalmente interessados em capturar alguns pássaros selvagens, quando eles encontraram a relíquia.

“We were running and gunning for toms,” Adkins told Outdoor Life.
“Nós estávamos correndo e atirando nos perus”, disse Adkins à Outdoor Life.

“We’d worked a gobbler for about 30 minutes, then the bird moved off, so we picked up and headed up the creek.
Nós trabalhamos um peru macho por cerca de 30 minutos, quando o pássaro se afastou, então pegamos e subimos o riacho.

I looked down in the middle of the creek as we crossed it and saw a big blob of something I thought was a root ball, so I almost kicked it away.”
Olhei para baixo no meio do riacho enquanto o cruzávamos e vi uma grande bolha de algo que pensei ser uma bola de raiz, então quase a chutei para longe.”

“But I noticed something different about it and looked closer,” Adkins went on.
“Mas percebi algo diferente nisso e olhei mais de perto”, continuou Adkins.

“That’s when I saw some molar teeth, so I picked it up.” Foi quando vi alguns dentes molares, então o peguei.”

Determined not to let the potential find of a lifetime distract from his turkey hunt, Adkins propped the skull next to the creek and forged ahead.
Determinado a não deixar que a potencial descoberta de uma vida inteira o distraia de sua caça ao peru, Adkins apoiou o crânio próximo ao riacho e seguiu em frente.

When he and Hager concluded their hunt later that morning, they retrieved the skull and carried it home.
Quando ele e Hager concluíram a caçada naquela manhã, eles recuperaram o crânio e o levaram para casa.

“[My wife] thought it was a cow skull because it was so big,” Adkins said.
[Minha esposa] pensou que era o crânio de uma vaca porque era muito grande”, disse Adkins. 

The skull weighed about 30 pounds and sported tufts of hair.
O crânio pesava cerca de 30 libras e exibia tufos de cabelo.

It had four molar teeth on either side of its jawbone.
Ele tinha quatro dentes molares em cada lado da mandíbula.

“But my father-in-law said no, it was something very different,” continued Adkins.
Mas meu sogro disse que não, era algo muito diferente”, continuou Adkins.

“That’s when we started searching the internet, sending photos to family and friends, and then I posted it on social media.
Foi aí que nós começamos a pesquisar na internet, enviar fotos para familiares e amigos, e depois postei nas redes sociais.

That really got things moving along with trying to ID what I’d found.”
Isso realmente fez as coisas avançarem na tentativa de identificar o que eu encontrei.”

'I survived two sandstorms and nearly ran out of water in the Sahara Desert,' says man who biked from London to Lagos

Kunle Adeyanju is a self-confessed daredevil who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro twice and cycled from Lagos to Accra over three days.
But it is his latest adventure that is creating a buzz after he successfully completed a motorcycle ride from London to Lagos.
The journey took 41 days as he traveled 13,000 kilometers (8,080 miles) through 11 countries and 31 cities.
Adeyanju embarked on the trip partly to raise money for polio, in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Ikoyi Metro, Nigeria, where he is president-elect. He says he chose the cause because of a childhood friend who suffered from the debilitating illness.
"Polio is a personal thing for me... as a boy, my best friend had polio and when we go swimming or play football, he could do none of those things. Sadly, my friend passed away some years back. If he hadn't had polio, he probably will still be alive today."
