Green boiler trend continues
Boiler operators and other "energy-intensive" industries have been shown how to go green without losing profits by a US company.
Montgomery-based Jenkins Brick Company uses more than 300 million cubic feet of gas every year generated by landfill in a nearby city.
According to the firm this landfill gas accounts for around 60 per cent of the brick plant's total fuel needs, while the rest comes from conventional gas supplies.
"It benefits us, and it benefits the world as far as I'm concerned," said Mike Jenkins, vice president of the business.
He pointed to the increased use of landfill gas, for electricity production and for direct use by manufacturers, as indication of a "subtle but steady" trend in industry.
Experts have highlighted potential savings of between 20 and 50 per cent over what it costs to use natural gas, with companies such as Tropicana and Ocean Spray converting landfill gas into energy to run their industrial boilers.
UK homeowners are now able to cut their own fuel bills by asking for a free energy inspection on their boiler when an engineer visits.
The latest government initiative is part of the wider drive to help consumers make their homes more energy-efficient.

The radiator arrived OK and is now installed and working perfectly. I contacted 4 plumber's merchants locally but was unable to buy the rad. So I was quite impressed with your prices and response.
