Lichfield Cricket and Hockey Club takes advantage of a more sustainable and affordable energy source(04/05/2011)
The Lichfield Cricket and Hockey Club runs a large clubhouse supporting many local sporting teams. The £10,000 per year cost of running its electric heating and hot water system was becoming a huge drain on club funds. Therefore the organising committee sought a more cost effective solution, with funding support through the Low Carbon Buildings Programme. The club decided to install a ground source heat pump for space heating, along with solar panels on the roof to provide hot water. To ensur... [more]
Renewable heating solutions not only help the environment but also provides a guaranteed income
(22/03/2011)
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) announced on the 11th March gives an incentive for people to replace conventional heating systems and adopt greener alternatives. Under the RHI, individuals who install eco energy technologies that generate heat will earn an income from the Government for every unit of heat their system produces. Govan Ltd has welcomed the announcement, which has been eagerly anticipated by the industry and those seeking greener heating solutions: “The Government’s announ... [more]
New B30K biofuel for heating and cooking eligible for the proposed Renewable Heat Incentive(05/08/2010)
The Oil Firing Technical Association (OFTEC) have tested fuels which blended either 30% or 50% of the bio element, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) with either kerosene or gas-oil. The FAME was derived from used cooking oil. The fuel that blends 30% FAME with 70% kerosene (B30K) has been accepted by the Government as eligible for the proposed Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). If this is introduced households converting to the fuel will receive a substantial annual payment. Field trials for the... [more]
The UK heat pump market to experience double-digit growth(02/03/2010)
Heat pumps use electricity to extract heat from the environment, usually from the ground or the air. More than three quarters of the energy produced by the heat pump is available free from a sustainable, renewable source. Unlike other sources of renewable energy like wind and solar, the heat in the ground or the air is always available for use. Although they are not carbon neutral (after all, they are powered by electricity), heat pumps typically generate three or four times the energy used t... [more]
