R & D Fuel Engineering by Oxford University Science Park Fuel Engineers
• largest concentration of fuel research scientists in Western Europe
• UK Climate and Emissions additive package added to the liquid
biomass to improve the poor fuel economy and increased NOx
emissions levels associated with burning conventional biodiesel
• Formal Emissions Testing conducted to ISO 8178 by Intertek Tickford.
Validation of Tier III emissions compliance on mobile generators
• City of London Corporation funding from Mayor of London to support
emissions testing
• Unique tracer agent which cannot be removed to validate use re
claiming of ROCS subsidies

Renewable energy from liquid biomass is exempt from the CRC Tax
CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme
The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme started in April 2010. It’s designed to encourage large public and private
sector organisations to reduce their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through energy efficiency.
Phase 1 of the scheme runs from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2014. Participants for Phase 1 should have
registered by 30 September 2010.
Phase 2 will start on 1 April 2014. Organisations will qualify for Phase 2 between 1 April 2012 and 31 March
2013 if:
•
they have at least one settled half hourly electricity meter
•
and more than 6000 megawatt hours (MWh) of qualifying electricity supplied on the settled half hourly
market.
If your organisation meets these criteria you must register for Phase 2 of the scheme between 4 November
2013 and 31 January 2014. Some public bodies must participate in CRC no matter how much electricity they
consume. These are known as mandated participants.

The Co op - In good company – Liquid Biomass producing Renewable Energy
Co-operative Group HQ, One Angel Square, Manchester
Sustainable measures, particularly to conserve energy, mean the Co-operative Group’s new
headquarters will produce 80 per cent less carbon and halve its energy use
In addition to the recovered heat, 764kW of waste heat from two 400kW combined heat and
power (CHP) units is used to heat the fresh air. These are fuelled by rapeseed oil liquid biomass
produced on the Co-op’s own farms. The CHP units also provide cooling through an absorption
chiller.
Approved for use by UK Leading Power Rental companies in diesel generators
