Presentation given at the CLA's Woodfuel Conference at Doddington Hall on Wednesday 30 October by Dr Andrew Horsley, Business Development Director, Arbor Heat and Power.
In 2016 Hjallerup District Heating had a Linka straw system installed. The plant will supply the entire area with heat 7 months of the year. The change to biofuel has already reduced the prices for district heating in the area.
A discussion with 20 members of the FSB on what small business can do to contribute to Manchester's Net Zero ambitions. Presentation covers green energy, energy efficiency and staff engagement.
From 2009 companies and other organisations, will be required to report to the Environment Agency details of their energy usage, from almost all sources, on an annual basis.

Turning Climate Crisis into Action. What should we be doing, what are we doing. A short appraisal of opportunities, unintended barriers and key drivers needed if we are to make meaningful progress in decarbonising our cities.
In short we have to give every building in the city an opportunity and desire to move forward from burning gas. This is the biggest contributor to climate change, the biggest density of activity and the single most pressing area no yet in enough focus.

Presentation: Energy system needs to change - but how? at Wind Finland seminar 10 Oct 2018 by Karoliina Auvinen, Aalto University / Smart Energy Transition project
An energy efficient latest technology that gives more power then conventional energy sources from less input with no pollution...yes its a MICRO COMBINED HEAT & POWER
This is the second in a series of 'Show and Tell' webinars from the Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund Round 1 Discovery phase, covering the Heat projects.
Consumers need better access to low-carbon heating options which remain reliable and affordable in comparison to existing solutions. For many domestic, commercial, and industrial end consumers, heat comprises a considerable proportion of their energy bills.
There are a variety of technologies which could potentially contribute to heat decarbonisation. These include heat networks, electric and hybrid heat pumps, hydrogen, biofuels and others.
As examples, you will hear from SIF projects working on developing the gas networks to adapt to hydrogen, and electricity networks exploring the use of thermal energy storage as a source of flexibility.
The Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) is an Ofgem programme managed in partnership with Innovate UK, part of UKRI. The SIF aims to fund network innovation that will contribute to achieving Net Zero rapidly and at lowest cost to consumers, and help transform the UK into the ‘Silicon Valley’ of energy, making it the best place for high-potential businesses to grow and scale in the energy market.

1. Optimising Woodfuel Project Returns
Through Heat and Power Generation
CLA Woodfuel Conference
Dr Andrew Horsley, 30th October2013, Doddington Hall
2. About Arbor Heat and Power
• Innovative but pragmatic renewable energy
solutions tailored for built environment
• Upfront consultancy services through to
implementation and maintenance
• Investment in research and development to
identify technologies for future applications
3. Introduction
• Woodfuel energy projects traditionally
focussed around heat only
• Heat and Power (CHP) can be cost effectively
generated from woodfuel using gasification
technology
• Project planning and design requires different
considerations
• Financial returns and carbon savings can be
greatly enhanced over “heat only” projects

10. Woodfuel Requirements
•
•
•
•
•
Coarse screw cut or screened wood chips
Even quality with few fines
Readily stored and dried
Moisture content around 15-18%
Wood drying opportunities are attractive
projects in their own right
13. Financial Returns
• Offsetting traditional fuels: electricity and
oil/gas
• Renewables Obligation Certificates – 2 per
MWh electricity
• Renewable Heat Incentive 7.3p/kWh flat rate
• Exporting surplus electricity back to the grid
14. Typical Project Economics

15. Summary
• Woodfuel can be converted to heat and power at small
scale with highly attractive economics
• Project considerations are slightly different than for
wood heat projects – smaller capacities with longer
operating hours
• Careful integration and design is paramount
• Wood fuel drying opportunities can offer heat loads to
optimise operation of plant throughout year
• A viable alternative to biomass boilers in the right
circumstances
• Carbon saving potential makes integration in rural new
build developments with strong planning objectives
ideal
16. The Future – Next Generation Systems
• Small scale waste to
energy CHP plants
– Removing waste
disposal costs
– Providing clean low
carbon energy
• First pilot plants in
planning stages
