The Crystal Leisure Centre in Stourbridge has recently been awarded a carbon saving certificate for its combined heat and power unit.
The ENER.G carbon saving certificate recognises that the combined unit saved 326 tonnes of CO2 in 2007. This is equivalent to a forest of 50,000 mature trees.
The centre has had the unit for three years, but this is the first time that the efficiency saving has been acknowledged.
Councillor Charles Fraser Macnamara, cabinet member for leisure and culture said:
“I’m pleased to see that this energy efficiency has been recognised and I commend the centre on their choice of technology.”
