Branston's potato anaerobic digestion plant to cut electricity demand by 40%

十二月 06, 2009
The anaerobic digestion plant at Branston's headquarters in Lincoln will use low value potatoes and peelings to produce enough electricity to cut the firm's reliance on grid electricity by 40%.

Work started on the plant last week, project director Vee Gururajan told Farmers Weekly at British Potato 2009. "Three to four years ago we started to measure our carbon footprint and found electricity was the major factor."

The anaerobic digester would allow the company to make a "step-change"reduction in its electricity use, he said.

The project was costing £1.4m with £450,000 coming from Rural Development (RDPE) funding via the East Midlands Development Agency, he said.
