St. Columbus Hospital, Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny<br />

Renewable Heat; Woodchip Boiler<br />

St. Columbus Hospital is a HSE hospital in the <strong>South</strong>-<strong>East</strong> which<br />

switched over to a 400kW wood chip boiler to provide hot water<br />

and space heating for the entire hospital. The system, due for<br />

commissioning in July 2007, will displace over 60,000 litres of oil<br />

per annum which will result in annual CO2 savings of 290 tonnes.<br />

This is a leading project for the HSE in the <strong>South</strong>-<strong>East</strong> and payback on the investment is expected within two years.<br />
