The company have now brought into service a total of 16 anaerobic digestion (AD) plants in the UK with the 17th about to start operating in Cardigan, Wales. Asgard Renewables Ltd, a company established to construct, own and operate AD plants and other renewable energy projects, engaged AD consultancy Syrus Energy Ltd to provide project management and specialist AD services with biogas plant manufacturer PlanET Biogas Group providing the AD solution itself.
The feedstock for the plant consists mainly of food waste, slaughterhouse waste, slurry and green waste, enabling the two CHP biogas engines to provide a total electrical output of 1 MWel. The plant consists of two digesters and a storage tank and also includes reception, depackaging and pre-treatment of waste in a separate reception building.
“Right from the beginning we focussed on two evident objectives: a solid profit and a sustainable utilisation of organic residues, especially food waste disposals” said entrepreneur Phil Gibb.
Stephan Hoffmann, international sales manager for PlanET, added that the concept demonstrates the company’s experience and know-how regarding the complete handling of high value AD projects.
