Energy Secretary sees efficient CHP plant at work in Liverpool
Chris Huhne, Secretary of State for Energy & Climate Change (second from right) took time off from his party’s conference in Liverpool to visit the flagship low-carbon and renewable-energy centre at the new Museum of Liverpool. He saw the combined-heat-and-power plant that will reduce CO2 emissions by 884 t a year and deliver substantial costs savings.
Ener-G is installing and operating the advanced CHP system in this new £72 million museum on Liverpool’s waterfront and guaranteeing substantial cost savings and lower CO2 emissions.
After his tour, Chris Huhne said, ‘As a Government we have committed to cutting the carbon emissions in the pubic sector, starting with 10% in the first 12 months. The Museum of Liverpool has shown what is possible, and I expect that CHP schemes like this one can help us deliver on our low-carbon goals.’
At the Museum of Liverpool, Ener-G has designed and manufactured two 385 kW bio-diesel CHP units, two 768 kW natural-gas CHP systems, two 850 kW boilers, a 1000 kW absorption and a 998 kW conventional compression chiller.
