Micro stoves that produce heat and electricity

Both thermal and electrical energy is most efficient when it is produced at the point of use.

The Home Micro Generating Unit (HMGU) has been designed to run on torrefied wood pellets, those being the only biomass fuel product containing enough energy to operate the system at maximum effieciency The HMGU's will initially be available in two options.The 1.5 kWe, approx 24kWth model will be suitable for individual properties, village halls, offices and many other situations where there is a small requirement for both heat and electrical power. The larger 25 kWe, approx 200kwth gasifier model will produce enough thermal and electrical energy to supply small district heating schemes of up to 10 individual houses, office blocks, or groups of flats etc, and will be particularly suitable for housing association properties and other social housing situations. This particular system will produce ample volumes of hot water for distribution between the connected buildings, in addition to a large proportion of the electrical requirements, at reduced cost in relation to fossil fuel energy production.
Micro-turbines, driven by super-heated (dry) steam at generating capacities of 1.5kWe/hr. (single-dwelling) and 15kWe/hr. (multiple dwellings).
