Company reveals how biomass system installed at Scotney Castle has helped cut energy bills by an
estimated £20,000 a year.
A biomass boiler installed at the historic Scotney Castle in Kent has cut energy bills for the National
Trust by more than £20,000 a year, while also slashing carbon emissions, according to new figures.
Rural Energy, the company that fitted the system to provide hot water and heating to the Victorian
mansion in 2010, this week released data showing the project has helped cut carbon emissions by 404
tons since it was installed, generating 1,258,600kWh of renewable energy in the process.
The 250kW Herz BioMatic wood chip boiler system, which provides hot water and heating to the
castle, visitor reception, shop, tearoom and offices, is fuelled using wood harvested from managed
woodlands on the 770-acre estate.
