The Hotel Puente Romano

<h3>The Hotel Puente Romano </h3>

The Resort Hotel Puente Romano announced that they were significantly reducing their carbon emissions by introducing new boilers to heat the entire complex. <br><br>

The hotel, located in Marbella, will now be using clean energy to power the climate control and hot water by replacing two oil-fuelled boilers with three new ones which are able to run on biomass such as olive stones. <br><br>

Following an investment of 384,000€ this change will reduce their carbon emissions by 792 tons per year, the equivalent of taking 325 cars off the road. <br><br>

These new boilers are also designed to save energy and are only used when necessary and dependent upon occupancy. <br>
