Salford green power manufacturer shortlisted for three energy awards

Salford’s ENER-G has been shortlisted for three UK energy awards for excellence in low carbon and renewable energy generation.

The company has reached the finals of the prestigious Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE) in three categories.

ENER-G’s anaerobic digestion development for malt producer Muntons Plc is shortlisted for the Industrial Project of the Year, while the company’s 23-year combined heat and power (CHP) partnership with Places for People Leisure is in the running for the Commercial / Public Sector Project of the Year. ENER-G’s ‘ultra-low’ NOx CHP range has also won selection for the Innovation Award.

Alan Barlow, Managing Director of ENER-G said: “As the sole remaining UK CHP manufacturer, we are proud of our design, development, engineering and manufacturing capabilities for our green energy systems.. We’re delighted to gain industry recognition for these projects, which demonstrate the breadth and depth of ENER-G’s CHP capabilities within renewable and low carbon generation.”

ENER-G biogas CHP technology is powering malt producer Muntons’ anaerobic digestion facility, supplying organic fertilizer from the renewable energy generation process to local farms to grow the barley used for malting.

During the past 12 months, Places for People Leisure reduced its carbon footprint by 2643 tonnes by using 13 ENER-G CHP units. The partnership with ENER-G started 23 years ago and most units are supplied under a Discount Energy Purchase agreement, enabling the social enterprise to gain a low cost green energy supply paid for via the cost savings achieved.

ENER-G’s ‘ultra-low’ NOx CHP range, which is shortlisted for the ADE innovation award, achieves emissions levels five times lower than the most widely accepted limit, marking it out as a cleaner alternative.

The award winners will be announced at The Heat Conference on 23 November 2016
