6th H-CHP Partners meeting, in Reykjavík, Iceland, 17th-20th February 2020
The sixth H-CHP partner project meeting took place in Reykjavik,Iceland.
Pictures show the integrated gasification unit at the University of Iceland on a trailer. We have the system portable in order to be able to visit stakeholders for
demonstration and promotional purposes. The following is a short description of how the system works. The syngas from the gasifier is led into the bottom of the feeder to both cool down the gas and heat up the feedstock before it enters the gasifier. The gas is then run through a coal filter before allowed into an Internal combustion engine (A Vortec industrial engine). The engine drives a generator that provides 15kW electricity (3-phases). The cooling water from the engine is run through a
heat exchanger to heat up cold water. The system can provide up to 20 kW of heat. The exhaust from the engine is led into the gasifier to use the waste heat.

The fifth H-CHP partner project meeting took place in Tighean Innse Gall, Stornaway, Western Isles, Scotland, attended by all partners.
Despite turnaround flights to diversions to road floods to off-road driving due to bad weather our meeting in Stornaway was a successful and productive one. Special thanks to Stewart Wilson and Brian Whitington for their hard work and hospitality.
The fourth partner project meeting took place in Dublin, Ireland, attended by all partners at the Skylon hotel, with a visit to Dublin Castle that evening followed by dinner. The second day all partners attended the Smart Green Building Expo, where the host partner, Energy Action had a H-CHP stand. The group participated in Energy Action's European Horizon 2020 ENERFUND project, which was presented by Michael Hanratty, Energy Action.
Louisburgh, Co. Mayo Community Futures held an open day in Louisburgh National School on Sat 19th January 2019. Energy Action was invited to participate and present the NPA Interreg H-CHP project. Project manager Charlie Roarty, was available to discuss the project and handed out leaflets and the H-CHP video ran for the 3 hours on a continuous loop. 16 householders filled in H-CHP questionnaire and would welcome more information including energy advice. SEAI representative, Mayo Co.Council, Energy sponsors, local business owners, local community including teachers and pupils from Killeen National School and Louisburgh National School and local clergy attended.

Brian Whitington has been promoting the H-CHP project across the Outer Hebrides during the summer. He has met hundreds of the public and signing many up to join the project 'long list' of households, as potential beneficiaries of the pilot equipment. He has also visited many households, to start to draw up a shortlist of those likely to be suited to be pilot households.

Tighean Innse Galls' Brian Whitington addressed the conference, Local Opportunities through Nordic Cooperation, held in Thurso, Scotland on 24th May 2018. His address was on the benefits of H-CHP and how northern periphery area partnership is achieving this. Of interest to the conference was the development of supply chains, and how this will stimulate economic development across the region, in particular to the Highlands and Islands and supply of biomass.
