The renewable energy hub at Glenskinno Farm – which operates the largest wood chip drying facility in north east Scotland – is holding an open day to showcase its new CHP system next week. Absolute Solar and Wind partnered with the Gall family at Glenskinno Farm to enable them to diversify their business through installing five biomass boilers as well as a state of the art CHP system and wind turbine. By installing the biomass, CHP and wind turbine on site, this project has provided a platform for the landowners to grow their business and become more sustainable by reducing costs and generating significant new income.

Glasgow-based Star Renewable Energy has been lined up as a ‘star’ participant at the ‘future thermal energy’ conference at Warwick University this autumn for its pioneering role in developing and installing the first air source heat pump installation in Britain to provide central renewable heating for residential high-rise buildings. Large heat pumps are increasingly expected to play a key role in meeting government heating de-carbonisation targets and Star’s innovative large scale air source heat pump is expected to become the pathway to low carbon and cheaper heat for existing social housing homes. The 400kW air source ‘Neat pump’ is connected to a district heating network which delivers low carbon heating and hot water to seven high-rise blocks in the city’s Hillpark Drive housing scheme.
