Plans announced for the UK's biggest biomethane-to-grid plant

摘要

Purac Puregas Ltd. (Sunderland, UK) has announced a deal to supply Scotia Gas Networks (SGN), based in Orpington (UK), with a biomethane-to-grid upgrading plant. Jan Molin, Managing Director of Purac Puregas, said: "This contract award represents a significant step change in the scale of biogas upgrading projects in the UK and it's a great honour to have been selected to work with SGN." The venture capitalizes on the UK government's plans to substantially increase energy from waste, thereby diverting waste from the landfill, reducing GHG emissions and producing renewable energy to power homes and vehicles. The details of the scheme are divulged in the Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Strategy and Action Plan, released by the UK's Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, where the government identifies the use of AD technology as a key factor in achieving greener future.
