Guildford Borough Council has made a huge investment in combating climate change. Conservative councillors have approved the investment of just over £1 million on nine energy saving projects which is estimated to save over 1,600 tonnes of CO2.
Projects include a biomass boiler at the council offices at Millmead, energy efficient lighting in Bedford Road car park and a combined head and power system at Spectrum Leisure Centre with the total savings projected to be £247,150 a year.
Plans to expand the scheme to build environmental projects on the Slyfield Regeneration Project are underway with the possibility to include an anaerobic digester.
