Baxi Ecogen - Free Piston Stirling Engine

 

Our overall energy requirements are continually increasing and at the same time resources of the all important fossil fuels we use to generate that energy are simply dwindling away. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has estimate that the world energy demand will dramatically increase by approximately 50 per cent between now and 2030 if our policies remain unchanged.

 

In addition to this increase it is very well documented that the burning of those fossil fuels is causing a an ever increasing build up of greenhouse gases this in turn is contributing to global warming. It makes sense to use our natural resources wisely. Without a doubt we need to produce cleaner energy, and microgeneration can help us achieve this at grass roots level - in our own homes.

 

Baxi have developed a new Micro-CHP system, the Baxi Ecogen, which can generate useable electricity as well as supply all our central heating for the home. This technology is available now. To find out more about the Baxi Ecogen and contact us today.

 

 

 

 

Key features and benefits:

• For the environment: electricity generated close to where it is to be used has fewer carbon emissions and is much more efficient
• For the householder: saving money on electricity bills. In addition, from April 2010 electricity suppliers will pay a Feed-in Tariff to householders for every kWh of electricity generated and exported back to the electricity grid.
• For specifiers and housebuilders: micro-CHP offers an effective way of meeting the UK Government's targets towards zero carbon homes
• For utilities: micro-CHP offers an effective way of meeting the UK Government's Carbon Reduction Targets with the CERT Program
