Killarney

<h3>Tricel Killarney have installed one of Ireland&rsquo;s largest combined Solar PV and Heat Pump systems.</h3>
When fully commissioned, the total reduction in emissions from this combined system equates to 357,800kg of CO2 per year which is the equivalent to the emissions saved from powering 300 houses every year and 500 planted trees.
 In August this year, Tricel began the installation phase of Ireland&#8217;s largest combined Heat Pump and Solar PV system to date at their Killarney facility. The project was partially funded by SEAI.
 &#8220;We worked closely with Enerpower on the installations who, from the outset, had a very clear understanding of our requirements and have shown commitment and reliability in their service,&#8221; David Kaneswaran​ from Tricel said.
 &#8220;The 775kw Solar PV system consists of large solar arrays fitted to the rooves of three of the factory&rsquo;s main units. Tricel&#8217;s Solar PV system will displace 561,000kwh of grid electricity, reducing our own carbon emissions by 182,000kg of CO2 per annum.&#8221;
 Tricel has also installed a total of three large heat pumps to replace all kerosene boilers onsite, providing heat to five of the factory&rsquo;s main units.
 &#8220;Tricel&#8217;s heat pump system will provide 684,000kwh of heat energy, reducing our carbon emissions by 175,800kg of CO2 per annum.
 To date, the system has already the environmental benefits of avoiding 4,810kg of CO2.
 &#8220;We look forward to next year&#8217;s results as we aim to keep sustainability at the top of the company agenda.&#8221;
