About Our 4Degrees Range
4 Degrees Celsius is widely recognised by scientists globally as the upper limit of likely temperature increase over the next 100 years due to climate change. It is no secret that CO2 and other greenhouse gases are accumulating in our atmosphere. There is some debate about exactly how much of this is as a direct result of human activity; but scientists and governments around the world are clear that we must take action to reduce our CO2 emissions to avoid the risk of uncontrollable climate change.
We are all witness to the one in one hundred year storms that seem to be happening every year, some very close to home. Hurricanes, tornadoes and storm surges are affecting countries all over the globe, even here in the South Pacific. The seasons are getting more dramatic and weather patterns are changing. Some areas are experiencing extreme flooding and unprecedented snow storms, while others are encountering long periods of low humidity and extremely high temperatures, leading to drought, water shortages, even wild fires causing serious damage and loss of life. One of the biggest issues with climate change is how dramatic some of these weather events can be.

It is believed that a 4 degree increase in the mean temperature over the next one hundred years is enough to increase the sea level by 0.5m due to thermal expansion of the water alone. If ice melting in the Northern and Southern hemispheres is taken into account, these sea level rises could be more than 4m by 2300. A sea level rise of this nature would displace millions of people alone without the added devastation of storm surge on top of sea level rise. It has been shown that climate change is slow to begin with, but as ice begins to melt, this process is irreversible as temperatures cold enough to refreeze the ice are unachievable.
As climates warm, the chance of wildfires escalates. One of these large fires has the ability to produce as much CO2 as an entire country’s CO2 emissions in one year, as the stored carbon in the vegetation is released. In some cases, the vegetation will never recover due to unfavourable climate conditions and also its ability to absorb future CO2. This is already happening to some extent, and the situation will worsen in time.
There is only so much we can do to control our changing environment, but we can do something. Our 4 Degrees package boiler range offers superior performance and efficiency over our competitors’ products, which means we can help our customers save money and reduce their environmental impact. Our 4 Degrees range of boilers consume substantially less fuel and electricity, reducing your operating costs in a world where we are continuously seeing increasing energy costs as a result of scarcity and polluter-pays taxation. As technologies improve, you can be assured that Energy Plant Solutions will be leading the way with low, and even zero carbon emitting energy plants. For your next boiler, make a conscious choice, for the environment, for your families and for your business.
High Voltage Electrode Boilers
Are you interested in a true carbon zero energy plant solution? The cost of carbon emissions is a serious consideration for any company currently burning fossil fuels to produce process heat. The cost of burning fossil fuels is trending toward well in excess of $100 NZD per tonne of CO2 in the future. A large portion of New Zealand's electrical energy is generated by renewable means, such as, Hydroelectric, Geothermal, Wind and Solar. These clean sources of electrical energy can be used to generate large amounts of steam or hot water using our electrode boiler range without fossil fuel emissions and carbon costs. Our electrode boiler range covers 4MW up to 60MW in steam and hot water configurations, and design pressures up to 41.5bar, with efficiencies in excess of 99%. If your business is serious about a sustainable process heat solution, and you want to move away from fossil fuels, we have a solution for you.
Resistive Element Steam & Hot Water Boilers
Are you interested in a true carbon zero energy plant solution? The cost of carbon emissions is a serious consideration for any company currently burning fossil fuels to produce process heat. The cost of burning fossil fuels is trending toward well in excess of $100 NZD per tonne of CO2 in the near future. A large portion of New Zealand's electrical energy is generated by renewable means, such as, Hydroelectric, Geothermal, Wind and Solar. These clean sources of electrical energy can be used to generate large amounts of steam or hot water using our resistive element boiler range without fossil fuel emissions and carbon costs. Our resistive element boiler range covers 1MW - 3MW, with efficiencies in excess of 99%. Multiple boilers can be linked together to provide greater outputs. Our resistive element boilers are compact and offer a low cost alternative to our larger electrode boilers. If your business is serious about a sustainable process heat solution, and you want to move away from fossil fuels, we have a solution for you.
Geothermal Clean Steam Generators
Are you interested in a true carbon zero energy plant solution? The cost of carbon emissions is a serious consideration for any company currently burning fossil fuels to produce process heat. The cost of burning fossil fuels is trending toward well in excess of $100 NZD per tonne of CO2 in the near future. We are able to custom design geothermal clean steam generators. These use geothermal steam from the earth to generate clean steam on the secondary side of a specialised heat exchanger. If your business is serious about a sustainable process heat solution, and you want to move away from fossil fuels, we have a solution for you.
Biomass Fired Hot Water, Steam and Thermal Oil Heat Plants
Are you interested in a near carbon neutral energy plant solution to generate your process heat? Biomass fired boiler plant fueled by renewable waste residues such as wood chip and hogged fuel etc could be the answer for your application. We have partnered exclusively with a global leader in biomass combustion techknowlogy, Polytechnik Biomass Energy based in Austria. Polytechnik are able to offer hot water, steam and thermal oil energy plants fired on biomass. Energy Plant Solutions work with Polytechnik here in New Zealand installing and servicing these energy plants. Energy Plant Solutions have been responsible for the design, manufacture and installation of many of the piping systems associated with these New Zealand installed biomass fired boiler plants. Please follow the Polytechnik Biomass Energy link if you would like to understand how this techknowlogy could help you. Don't hesitate to give us a call if you want to know more.
