of liquid bio-fuelled CHP and
tri-generation systems in
Europe, providing green
electricity, heating and cooling
from end-of-waste renewable
fuel.
The 278kW CHP system at
Harrogate International Centre
has enabled the low carbon
development to become the
greenest conference and
exhibition destination in
Europe.
It will provide sustainable
electricity and heating for a five-hall
conference centre, Holiday Inn Hotel and
council offices.
The Tesco superstore in Welshpool has
been installed with a 300kW trigeneration
system which provides
electricity, heating and cooling for the
entire store and exports electricity to the
national grid.
As a preferred supplier of renewable
energy to Tesco, Fleetsolve’s CHP has
been the pivotal technology for a number
of Tesco developments, including the
world’s first Zero Carbon store in Ramsey,
Cambridgeshire.
Keith O’Connor, Fleetsolve’s Managing
Director, told WIP: “We have worked
closely with Harrogate Council to design a
bespoke CHP system which not only
satisfies the client’s needs, but has
exceeded all their expectations; our
client is now aiming to attain an
‘Excellent’ BREEAM award for the
building.”
He said: “Fleetsolve is committed to
helping Tesco fulfil its pioneering goal of
becoming a ‘Zero Carbon Business’. Our
CHP systems having been generating
millions of kilowatt hours of green energy
for Tesco stores across the UK, and their

Fleetsolve’s CHPs are approved by the
industry regulator Ofgem, and provide
clients with the added benefit of
generating an income via government
incentives.
Since 2002, the company has developed
its innovative Sustainable Power Solutions
with an extensive programme of research
and development.
Based on a core expertise of engine and
bio-fuel technology the company has a
reputation in the industry as the authority
on bio- powered solutions.
Keith concluded: “Our engineering is
second to none in the biofuel industry and
has come through thousands of hours of
rigorous testing, development and design
modifications.
“We operate a working fleet of biofuelled
CHP generators throughout the UK
and our biofuelled engines have been
incorporated into a range of applications.
Fleetsolve, together with New Holland,
developed the UK’s first bio-fuel tractors
for The Eden Project in Cornwall,” he
concluded.
