The largest district heating biomass project in the South East, based around an 840kW Binder boiler system. The biomass element with gas-fired boiler back-up, will service around 220 homes and apartments for a development close to Redhill railway station.
A 93kW Binder wood chip and pellet boiler supplies heat and hot water for all of the houses via a pre-insulated heat main in a minidistrict heating system.
The Earth Heart Housing Co-operative was established in 1997 with an aim to create a sustainable community for eight households. The community is based at Atlow Moat which is a Grade II Listed former farm complex in a remote setting. The development was undertaken to high environmental standards which included the provision of heat and hot water from a single biomass boiler.

Blaise Nursery is managed by Bristol City Council contract services and consists of c. 10,000m2 of glass houses and poly-tunnels providing bedding plants for Bristol Parks and Civil Amenities. The site is also a wood recycling centre where arboriculture arisings are brought from in and around the city.
The glass houses used to be heated with LPG direct heaters. It was decided to replace these heaters with a single biomass boiler system with heat distribution via a new district heating system. The biomass boiler was selected to deal with a wide range of low quality biomass fuel including high-moisture content and high leaf and bark content material available on site. A large pole barn was built on site as a wood-fuel depot, supplying not only Blaise but other local biomass installations.
The Blaise Nursery boiler was the winner of the 2006 South West of England Green Energy Awards in the category of "Best New Renewable Energy Scheme".
