Electricity Independence

Faromor Ltd and Faromor CNG Corporation Shakespeare, Ontario, Canada have announced the recent commissioning of one of the first energy independent poultry facilities in Canada. In affiliation with Toyota Boshoko and YANMAR micro Combined Heat and Power Systems of Adairsville Georgia, Faromor Ltd and Faromor CNG Corp have completed the new facility for Steeple High Farms, Tavistock, Ontario Canada.

“This is a timely and welcomed development, distributed generation microCHP systems deliver high onsite efficiency.They are able to generate the correct amount of power at the right time, making them much more efficient than the electrical grid” said Nicholas Hendry, President of Faromor CNG Corporation.

YANMAR has been perfecting its products and business practices for over 100 years. With CHP units in service in Europe for more than15 years, YANMAR micro CHP systems have been recognized globally. By utilizing a highly efficient engine and capturing nearly all the remaining energy as heat, the YANMAR micro CHP system is up to 2.6 times as efficient as current centralized power. With ease of installation, high reliability and functionality, a reduction in CO2 emissions and low operation noise, the YANMAR micro CHP system delivers an energy balance by constantly monitoring power demand and output. As electrical prices continue to increase, you can gain significant utility bill cost savings by switching to propane or abundant natural gas micro CHP electrical generation for your farm.
