Fairfield General Hospital, in Bury, Greater Manchester, is set to cut its annual carbon emissions by some 700 tonnes thanks to the installation of a new CHP unit supplied and commissioned by Cogenco.
The 520 KWe CHP unit forms part of a new gas hot water system that will replace the hospital’s ageing coal-fired steam boiler plant. The scheme will reduce emissions from the Fairfield site by 53%, releasing savings of around £600,000 per year for reinvestment in patient services.
