We produce environmentally friendly combined heat and power generation systems for the domestic and small commercial markets.
We also provide consultancy services to determine financial feasibility of commercial renewable energy CHP systems, and administrative services for grant and financial incentive applications.

A domestic CHP will save typically 30% on your annual fuel bill, dramatically reduce your carbon footprint, and give you independence from the energy utilities.
Using a combined heat and power system to provide your business's electricity and heat not only reduces your fossil fuel consumption (CO2 emissions), but also saves you money.
There are grants and financial incentives available from many sources.
We do all the paperwork for you, including the supply of fuel and maintenance of the CHP. You just get on with your day to day business.
A low cost, durable, open type genset specifically designed to run on Jatropha Oil.
Developed for small communities, farms and larger homes within developing countries where Jatropha Curcas is grown locally.
Only available on trade terms. The Liberty technical brochure is available here.
Generatingelectricity locally - why is it so important?
Our planet has only one renewable/continuous source of energy (ignoring geothermal and nuclear), and that is the energy we receive from the sun. This is the budget that our energy usage must meet.
At the moment, our energy usage is greater than our budget (due to our extravagant use of fossil fuels), so we have to start being much more efficient with our energy usage.
Although the human race has survived for thousands of years without electricity, it is now highly unlikely that we will ever give up this 'luxury' in the interest of climate stability, so we need to be intelligent when we decide how to generate our electricity.
All electricity generation methods entail a certain level of inefficiency - the process produces a vast amount of waste heat. When we generate electricity in power stations (centralised), we almost always waste this heat because heat is very difficult to distribute over distances. The government (UK) reported recently that the quantity of heat wasted during electricity generation (centralised) is sufficient to meet half of the nation's heating demand. In the US, the amount of heat dumped into the atmosphere during electricity generation is sufficient to meet the entire heating demand of Japan.
It is therefore obvious that the only environmentally friendly way of generating electricity is locally, where the waste heat can be put to good use.
