About Us
At Regen SW, we are committed to promoting the uptake of sustainable energy in South West England.
We launched the South West Bioheat Programme in 2007 with support from the South West Regional Development Agency and the Forestry Commission.. The programme advised business and organisations on the benefits and practicalities of installing a biomass boiler which uses woodfuel from sustainably managed woodland and other biodegradable crops, wastes and residues to create green energy.
The programme was such a success that the South West Regional Development Agency was awarded £3 million in April 2008 by Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to invest in 30 bioheat projects across the region.
Once all 30 projects under the South West Bioheat Programme are up and running they will provide the region with up to 32MW of renewable heat and save an estimated 7,000 tonnes of carbon a year.
The South West of England already has the highest number of biomass boilers in England and the second largest amount of woodland resources in England (after the South East) which makes it ideally placed to grow this sector of renewable energy.
