A new kind of domestic boiler capable of slashing heating oil fuel bills, halving carbon dioxide emissions and delivering up to 80% of household electricity requirements, is being developed by UK companies.
The new technology – a fuel cell boiler powered by liquefied petroleum gas – is being developed by Calor and Ceres Power, and is expected to be available by 2012.
Predicted costs are around £5,000 – far less than the estimated £14,000 for installing a wood chip boiler. British Gas is developing a similar system to be used by families on mains gas, due to hit the market next year.
