Biomass SOS charity challenge

03:37

The 'Biomass SOS!' charity challenge saw HWEnergy donate labour in an attempt to provide renewable heating to the Lochaber Rural Education Trust (LRET) ‘An Clachan’ learning centre in just one day.

More than 1,000 visitors take part in activities each year at the centre. However, with no central heating system and the colder months fast approaching, this was an issue for the comfort of pupils, volunteers and staff alike.

Our mission was to get heating into the LRET building and make it a more comfortable space for them to carry out their valuable work with community groups. To do this we linked the building to our own biomass boiler and installed pre-insulated underground pipe, conducted the interface work and installed radiators – all in one day!
