Farm power

摘要

JS Baird is a family-run farm of mixed arable, livestock, broiler chickens and laying hens set over 600 acres. The farm produces eggs, wheat, lamb, beef, and wheat. With a history of diversification and innovation the farm is attempting to bridge the gap between farming and energy. The farming specialist needed to obtain gasification technology in order to go green and reduce its heating costs. Gas produced from wood has been used for many years in small-scale installations as a substitute for petrol. The great advantage of gasification is that instead of burning wood chips in a biomass burner, the gasifier converts the wood chip into syngas, which is then used to drive a combined heat and power (CHP) facility.
