What better way to start The Boiling Blog than with a story about boilers.
There's a new boiler in town that creates electricity as a byproduct of heating your home.
How fantastic is that! Heating our houses is the second biggest carbon contributor after the car.
This thing produces electricity while it's doing the central heating. You can use the electricity or export to the grid, which you get paid 10p/ kWh through the governments “clean energy cashback” incentive scheme for householders, communities and businesses for the generation of low carbon electricity.
Well I'm getting one. With one of these in the house and a bumper sticker on the car, that's two of our biggest carbon contributors taken care of, good news for a climate change.
