AHDB GrowSave is inviting growers to an event to hear more about the current opportunities for converting to renewable heating systems in protected cropping, or adding to and expanding their existing renewable systems.
The event, which will take place on the 16th May, will discuss how the recent legislative changes to the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) open up opportunities for larger biomass boiler projects, maintain the benefits for heat pumps and give potential for biomass combined heat and power projects.
During this event, consultants from FEC Energy will explain in more detail the changes and how they benefit growers considering renewable heating systems. Other subtle but significant changes to the application requirements and eligibility of heat use will be clarified.
Delegates will also hear from technology suppliers and installers about the integration of renewable systems in greenhouse heating.
The event will conclude with a tour around a newly built 2.7MW biomass combined heat and power plant, which heats a tomato nursery. Book in advance as spaces will be limited.
