Green scheme for Southampton
A UK first has been made by the ABP Port of Southampton who has recently started to obtain its power through a combined heat-and-power-led district energy scheme, reducing the ports carbon dioxide emissions by 30%.
The scheme, run by Utilicom, annually saves 11,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide. ABP will be using recovered heat from electricity generation, which is normally wasted.
It is anticipated that the port’s contribution will ensure savings equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 3,000 average hatchback cars.
