The Government has announced the final details of its Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme. Baxi Group welcomes the Government’s recognition that micro-combined heat and power (mCHP) technology will play an important role in reducing the carbon footprint of homes. However Baxi Group is disappointed that the generation tariff for mCHP is set at a lower level than expected, 10p/kWh*. While this is a valuable contribution, it will not generate the same level of take up as the industry has been hoping for.
Sarah Brook, Marketing Director, Baxi Group, commented on the FIT scheme Government announcement: “The UK is currently leading the world in terms of mCHP development and today’s news will help to promote growth in the mCHP market. However, it will not deliver the scale of market growth or economic benefits that would have been achieved if the requested 15p generation tariff level had been awarded.”
BUILDING firms of all sizes can manage their material acquisitions, reduce waste and sell excess materials thanks to a new website.
Builder2Builder.co.uk allows registered users to place online classified adverts listing their surplus building materials, while buyers are able to search the classifieds for what they are looking to buy.
Builder2Builder works in much the same way as the newspaper classifieds. Materials are located by a material browse and town/location search pinpointing to within a five-mile radius of any main town/location specific materials required.
BHR Group Issues Call For Papers For Its 20th International Water Jetting Conference
Water jetting continues to find new applications as users take advantage of developments and improved equipment to introduce innovative solutions to their production, maintenance, medical, environmental and decommissioning problems. The addition of abrasives to water jets has resulted in cutting tools with unique capabilities, including the ability to clean, prepare and cut materials without the force or heat associated with traditional methods. The need to recycle has never been greater and abrasive waterjets offer unique capabilities. Difficult cleaning problems have been solved which has increased the scope for recycling waste items. This has led to innovative techniques that enable the safe and economical decommissioning of oil and gas facilities, nuclear plants and military hardware.
