An anaerobic digestion CHP plant is under construction in
Scotland, the AD plant is expected to become operational in
early 2011. The design includes a Combined Heat and Power
(CHP) unit producing power and heat and will be capable of
processing 80,000 tonnes of organic waste and generating 2
MWw of renewable electricity annually. ... Full story : The Anaerobic Digestion Plant will be built at Barkip, North Ayrshire.

The first firing of the new 1,275 MW Combined Heat and Power
plant (CHP) in Isle of Grain in Kent was successfully
completed on 2 June 2010. The £500m station has three
combined-cycle units that will burn natural gas, and will
supply waste heat in the form of hot water to the nearby
liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal. It is expected that
this scheme on the Isle of Grain will be one of the world's
largest CHP plants. The plant is set to start commercial
operation during the final quarter of 2010. ... Full story : UK's largest Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant achieves first firing

Malvern Community Hospital , scheduled to open later this
year, is to use a combination of CHP and ground source heat
pumps for its on-site energy supplies. By generating its own
green power, the hospital is projected to save £8700
(US$13,340) per year on its energy bills, and reduce its
carbon emissions by 15 tonnes per annum. The CHP system is a
reciprocating gas engine rated at 33 kW of electrical output
that will also generate 55 kW of heat for the building and
the ground loop for the heat pump. ... Full story : UK hospital combines CHP and ground source heat pumps
