National Botanical Garden of Wales Greenhouse

The centre piece of the Garden, which opened in May 2000 is a spectacular oval glass greenhouse designed by Norman Foster. This greenhouse covers a third of the site and is 100 metres long and 60 metres wide - the largest single-span glasshouse in the world. The interior includes ravines, rock faces, waterfalls and bridges and the structure is embedded into the surrounding Welsh hillside.

The management group immediately saw a requirement for an environmentally sustainable energy system and their visionary ability enabled them to perceive the advantages and symbiotic use of biomass as a heating fuel to the project.

Tony Redman of Bioenergy Technology Ltd. worked with the project over a 24 month period to find the best technological solution.

The plant has been successfully in operation for more than 12 months. During this period, oil prices have dramatically increased. The project is now a commercial opportunity to reduce running costs for the site, whilst still meeting the associated needs of the community in terms of the environment and rural employment.
