Tesco has partnered with sustainable energy group ENER-G to develop a new CHP system in an attempt to reduce its carbon footprint.
The retail giant aims to implement a smaller footprint system in stores nationwide in order to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing operations.
ENER-G claims it has developed the lightest and quietest external CHP (combined heat and power) product range in the world for Tesco.
Tesco has introduced the petite new ENER-G Universal CHP system to 27 UK stores so far with plans to implement it nationwide.
The weatherproof enclosure is approximately 40 per cent smaller, 3.5 tonnes lighter and 5dBA quieter than traditional CHP systems.
“We constantly strive to reduce our carbon footprint and the new Universal CHP system is key to that goal”, said Dean Pearmain, group buying manager of Tesco Stores Ltd.
Alan Barlow, managing director of ENER-G Combined Power, said: “Our in-house team worked with Tesco to bring this new product to market in less than six months. The production process has also been streamlined, which has reduced lead times in delivering product to customer, as well as saving more energy and cost in the production process.”
