Veolia delivers major carbon savings to the University of East Anglia


Veolia, through its key subsidiary, Veolia CHP UK Limited, is helping the University of East Anglia (UEA) to reduce key carbon emissions through a new 10-year combined heat and power contract. This will provide low


carbon electricity and heat to University of East Anglia. At the core of the project are two of the latest generation of Veolia combined heat and power (CHP) units installed to deliver secure energy supplies. The 4MWe CHP


installation will help the University reduce campus carbon emissions by 35% by 2020, against a 1990 baseline and support their ‘Sustainable Ways’ vision where the efficient use of current resources and self- generated energy support low carbon goals. Designed to produce as


much as 30GWh of clean electricity a year and maximise heat efficiency, the CHP will cut annual carbon emissions by a further 4,000 tonnes. The system is based


around two of the latest generation of Veolia 2MWe units which will deliver low carbon heat and electricity to the 320-acre campus through the district heating and cooling network and electrical infrastructure. This maintains the energy supply for the buildings which currently support the academic and research activities for over 18,800 students and staff. This is the final part of a


vital three-year project to update energy facilities at UEA.


Along with new, more energy efficient boilers and pumps, Thermal Stores have been installed to capture excess heat from the CHPs and use it later in the day when needed. These tanks hold


200,000 litres of water, an efficient way to store the excess heat generated by the CHP engines. The CHP installation

phase of the project was completed in October 2017 and will be supported by a 10 year contract using Veolia’s CHP helpdesk.

Imperial


College ‐ new report on fuel cell Micro CHP


Imperial College London has produced a very important report which identifies the key benefits of a higher penetration of micro-cogeneration units in the UK, including fuel cell micro-cogeneration (fuel cell micro combined heat and power or FC micro-CHP). This ene.field report,


authored by the project partner, Imperial College London, provides a definitive result on the overall macro-economic and macro-environmental implication of a widespread rollout of fuel cell micro- CHP technology for Europe’s current electricity systems. The use of micro-CHP systems is appealing - says the report - due to two fundamental


reasons:


(i) the efficiency of energy conversion is above 90%, much higher than the efficiency of Combined- Cycle Gas Turbine (i.e. around 60%), and (ii) the systems are installed at the end-use premises reducing the need for energy transport infrastructure and losses. The micro-CHP can also provide a local peaking capacity (back-up), and it can become an alternative to the conventional boiler in a typical smart home arena which requires electricity and heat 24/7.


CHP system will provide significant savings for UK health trust: around £13.4 million in total


Following the successful delivery of the new, low- carbon energy project at Cheltenham General Hospital, Vital Energi has signed a contract with Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to deliver a second project which will bring their overall savings to over £13.4m over the course of their contract terms. The new energy project,


which was procured through the Carbon & Energy Fund (CEF), will see Vital Energi design and install a 2.5MW CHP system which will be integrated into the Trust’s existing electrical, heating and hot water systems at the buildings belonging to the new Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. The project also sees Vital Energi working with the local electricity distribution network operator (WPD) to bring in a new High Voltage electricity supply to the hospital in order to increase electricity supply resilience to the hospital estate and enable the connec- tion of the CHP unit to the national grid.

complete Vital Energi will then go on to provide a fully managed energy service over a 15-year term which will include the full operation, maintenance and lifecycle services of both the new CHP system and the Trust’s existing steam and hot water boilers located within two energy centres at the hospital. Steve Black of Vital Energi explains, “This project allows the Trust to divert a substan- tial amount of money from its energy budget and redirect this to clinical services where it will be of most benefit for the community. At the same time, the significant CO2 reductions contribute to a healthier environment.”
