Tri-gen Power Plant

A combined heat and power plant for the Campus

A combined heat and power plant has been included in the campus proposals to provide electricity and heat to the site and potentially beyond. This method of energy recycling see the power plant re-use waste heat from electrical generation to heat buildings, which is dramatically more fuel-efficient than traditional electrical generation.

The unit could also be fuelled by wood-chip or biomass, making it a low carbon development as well as a significant contributor to crucial CO2 reduction targets indentified.
