Delivery of CHP to Aston University
Aston University took delivery of the latest combined heat and power plant. It will allow students and staff to benefit from sustainable energy across the campus as it will power its campus and Birmingham City’s Eastside regeneration projects.
The Vice Chancellor of Aston University, Professor Julia King, said: “Aston University is very pleased to be taking this next step on the way to realising a more sustainable vision for the University’s energy requirements." The CHP plant will be in Aston University’s energy centre and will combine with Aston’s own CHP to produce more power. Once operational the plants will reduce carbon dioxide levels by 4,400 tonnes a year and provide reliable low-cost heat and electrical power. The CHP will link to other phases of Birmingham’s energy network which Utilicom and the City Council are developing across the city centre.
