20120301_IMG_6533.jpg A massive Cedar tree that was infected with honey Fungus is chopped down in a garden on the outskirts of Ambleside, Lake District, UK, to be logged up for fuel. With ever increasing costs of energy for space heating, many households are buying cast iron wood burning stoves for space heating. Wood is a renewable source of energy.

20120127_IMG_4983.jpg The Farmgen anaerobic bio digestor at Dryholme Farm near Silloth Cumbria, UK. The plant which cost £4.5 million, produces 1.2 Mw of electricity, enough to power 2000 households. It uses around 25,000 tons of feedstock annualy, mainly maize and grass, which is mixed with farm slurry and fed into the massive digestors where bacteria break it down. The resulting methane is what powers the electricity generator. The waste product can be spread on the land as a fertilizer, and there are also plans to dry it and sell as biomass boiler fuel.

IMG_1237_working.jpg Construction work on fitting two archimedes screws on a new hydro electric project on the River Leven, at Low Wood near Haverthwaite, Cumbria, UK. When operational they will generate over 400 Kw of green electricity. When operational they will be the largest archimedes screws in the UK. The project uses the old mill race that used to power the gunpowder factory. Heat generated by the turbines, that is usually lost to the atmosphere is going to be pumped directly into a nearby office building. At times when the hydro is not working the offices will be heated by 4 air source heat pumps.

IMG_0508_kirkstone.jpg Charlie Middleton, an employee of cumbria vounty council clears snow from the blocked Kirkstone Pass, the highest mountain pass in the Lake District. Last year Charlie spent a season down in Antarctica, driving buldozers for the British Antarctic Survey. As Charlie says, I didn't expect to come back from Antarctica to have to deal with similar conditions at home.
