Glasshouse Heating

Steam rises from the CHP, (Combined Heat and Power) plant producing heat for the glasshouse and electricity for the national grid. The very large tank stores hot water during the day for release at night to heat the glasshouses. This is one of the most energy efficient systems available. Gas is burned to produce Heat, Electricity and Carbon Dioxide whish is fed into and absorbed by the growing crops. The first of it's kind in Ireland.
