British motorsport specialist, Prodrive, is helping to create the latest generation of household micro CHP units, by working with energy specialist, Disenco Energy, to bring its prodct to the domestic market. The Disenco mCHP generates 15kW of heat and 3kW of electricity. It is also more than 90 percent efficient converting 70-80 percent of the available energy in natural gas for central heating and between 10 and 25 percent into electricity. This, says the company, can reduce an average home's carbon emissions by between 2-6t a year, while saving up to 30 percent on the household fuel bill.
