Food-waste to energy project comes to Cambridgeshire
UK-based Local Generation has announced plans for a food-waste to energy plant in Cambridgeshire, UK.
The food recycling company is investing £9-12 million (€10.3-13.7 million) in an anaerobic digestion system, which will produce up to 2.5MW of power to supply 1,500 local homes and businesses.
Local Generation intends to submit a planning application for the site in the town of March in Q2. Operations are expected to begin in mid-2010.
Food-waste feedstock for the plant will come from the recycler’s sister company potato packer Fenmarc as well as other local sources.
Local Generation says the electricity created is about 6% of the total demand for the town.
