IMG_1625_p.jpg A geothermal energy project by Newcastle University, funded by the Dept of Energy and Climate Change. This project involves drilling 6,000 feet beneath Newcastle, on the site of the old Newcastle Brown Brewery. At this depth, the geothermally heated water is 80 degrees C. The plan is for this renewable energy source to provide space heating for a shopping centre and University buildings.

IMG_0660_p.jpg Following the warmest and driest April on record, moorland fires broke out across the UK. Ogden Moor near Wainstalls above Halifax was one of many victims. Several square Km of moorland burned for four days. The blaze was tackled by fire fighters, but despite their efforts the blaze destroyed valuable moorland habitat, killing mammals and amphibians and destroying nesting birds nests. The wind farm was also closed down for a number of days as the blades were a danger to the helicopters fighting the blaze with aerial water drops. This shot shows fire fighters and water board engineers who were helping to tackle the blaze.

IMG_2210_clothing.jpg A green build house being constructed by the Low Impact Building Cooperative at 1400 feet on Exmoor in Devon. the plot is off grid and will be powered by a wind turbine and solar panels. A bore hole wil provide the water. The building is timber framed and will be super insulated. The outbuildings are straw bale construction, with the main house, being timber framed and will use hempcrete as the wall insulation.

IMG_8355_protective clothing.jpg Workers prepare a specialist grout to cement a transition piece onto a monopile on the jack up barge,  Goliath  on the Walney Offshore windfarm project, off Barrow in Furness, Cumbria, UK. When finished it will have 102, 3.6 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of 367.2 MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The wind farm is owned and constructed by Dong Energy.
