A supply of plant clippings is all it takes for Irish company BioCore to supply enough gas for 7,000 homes in the UK. The Bray-based firm built a €20 million “gas-to-grid” plant that uses crop material from local farms in an anaerobic digester to provide a renewable energy source.
This is BioCore Environmental ’s first facility in the UK, built near Suffolk, England. The company installed the plant, but in effect BioCore now becomes an energy provider, supplying pure biogas clean enough to inject directly into the UK gas network. It also has a gas generator, providing all the power needed to run the site but with the surplus diverted into the electricity grid.
The facility can provide enough gas for heating and cooking for 7,000 homes during the winter and for 120,000 homes during the summer when heating demand falls, says company managing director, Peter Carey. This equates to about 12 million watts of power.
