The Gatehouse Carbon Acton Project officially launched on the 8th of February! On the 9th of February we spent the day with Gatehouse primary school, our guest speaker Kerr MacGregor (pictured below) came to Gatehouse to demonstrate renewable energy technologies, his renewable energy vehicle, Solar One uses a roof mounted wind turbine and solar electric panels to produce electricity, hot water is produced by two solar thermal panels on the side of the vehicle, these produce hot water even if the weather is cold or the sun doesn’t shine! Solar One also uses bio-diesel made from vegetable oil as a fuel source.
We spoke with almost every pupil at the school, many staff members were also curious about Solar One and came out to speak with us; it was a really successful day! Feedback from parents has been great, the children found the visit really interesting and we will be working with the school as the project progressesOn the 10th of February Solar One spent the day in Spar car park, it was a great day and we spoke with so many people from Gatehouse, we also had lots of sign ups for our free home energy and carbon survey.
