Located in the heart of London, on the south bank of the River Thames, the Shard is a 306-metre glass spire. The Shard will be home to office space, residential apartments, a five-star hotel, retail units and restaurants spread across 600,000 square feet and 72 storeys. At time of completion the Shard building is the tallest building in the European Union and the second tallest free-standing structure in the United Kingdom. Mindful of the Shard's environmental impact and in order to maintain the highest levels of energy efficiency, the building is fitted with a natural gas-fuelled combined heat & power plant. The Shard utilises a gas engine and the cogeneration facility was engineered, installed and will be maintained by the energy services provider. ... Full story : London's Shard gets CHP

The revised *UK CHP Development Map *has been* *launched. The map was originally developed as a tool to assist power station developers consider the opportunities for supplying heat and delivery of combined heat and power (CHP) as required under planning policy. However, it can also be used by both small and large organisations to help identify the locations where the supply of CHP heat would have the greatest potential, and therefore the largest positive environmental impact.The map includes heat loads across all UK sectors including industrial, commercial, public and domestic. The latest generation of the map offers a number of enhanced features, which include: ... Full story : UK CHP Development Map
