Gas to Grid

We chose LPG from Calor to blend with the lower grade biomethane in order to increase the calorific value of the gas. This ensures that it meets the National Grid's specification and also means we can claim back under the Government's Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).

Jason Fewell, Engineering Director — Wyke Farms

Caterers at an LPG powered mobile catering van

The diesel generators were very dirty and smelly. You get it all over your hands when you refuel them. The LPG generator has no smell to it, it's clean and there's no soot in my van. It's lovely!

Dean Gray Snr — Come Dine With Me

I’ve been using a Greengear LPG generator which is powered by Calor. We’ve been using this for the last year and it's green and light... Gas is much quicker and easier to use!

Emma Cutmore, Owner — Ohh La Pasta
