Low Carbon Energy Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs low carbon energy systems using CHP, absorption chilling, biomass and hydrogen, integrated within combination fuelled plantrooms that use recovered heat and future fuels.
Low Carbon Energy Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's approach to reducing the carbon of a building's energy use. BSH is committed to energy efficiency and helping reduce carbon emissions across the UK and Ireland through promoting the use of future fuels, including hydrogen, and low carbon energy systems are the delivery of that commitment through the plant a building actually runs.
A low carbon energy system is rarely a single technology. It combines CHP that uses recovered heat rather than wasting it, absorption chilling driven by that recovered heat, biomass from the Atmos range, and future fuels such as hydrogen — all integrated within a combination fuelled system rather than as a standalone low-carbon add-on.
BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, biomass heating designs, and zero emission H2P hydrogen to power grid scale, reflecting the range of low carbon options that can sit within a combination fuelled system.
Recovered heat and absorption chilling
The largest low carbon gains come from using heat that would otherwise be wasted. Combined heat and power captures the heat produced during generation for heating, hot water or process loads, and absorption chilling uses recovered heat to drive the cooling load. Yazaki absorption chilling primarily utilises heat as its main power source, so the cooling is served by recovered heat rather than by separate electric chillers.
Biomass and future fuels
Low carbon energy systems can include biomass from the Atmos range, which extends from wood fuelled to pellet fuelled, hybrid or conventional boilers, and future fuels such as hydrogen. BSH's consultancy specialisms include biomass heating designs and zero emission H2P hydrogen to power grid scale, so the low carbon system can draw on more than one low carbon source rather than relying on a single technology.
Integrated within combination fuelled systems
A low carbon energy system is part of a combination fuelled system, not a standalone low-carbon add-on. BSH designs the CHP, absorption chilling, biomass and hydrogen within the wider heating, cooling and controls, so the low carbon measures are integrated with the building's real loads rather than bolted on.

How BSH can help
Problem
A building that treats low carbon as a standalone add-on — a biomass boiler bolted onto conventional plant, or a hydrogen trial running alongside vented heat — misses the carbon savings that come from integrating the low carbon measures with the heating, cooling and controls. Where the low carbon technology is split from the wider system, the recovered heat is still wasted and the carbon savings never fully appear.
Reaction
Unintegrated low carbon measures raise cost without delivering the expected carbon savings, and can leave a building with low carbon technology running alongside inefficient plant. Consultants and facilities managers need an engineering partner who designs the low carbon measures within the wider combination fuelled system.
Solution
BSH designs low carbon energy systems using CHP, absorption chilling, biomass and hydrogen, integrated within combination fuelled plantrooms. Because the right low carbon system depends on your building, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your low carbon energy systems project.
