Around 28,000 tonnes a year of turkey waste is to be transformed into energy in a project by one of the country's largest producers of poultry. Bernard Matthews farm in Holton, Suffolk, will get around 13% of the site's electricity and 10% of its heat needs through the scheme. The project, which is funded through £4M of venture capital, will use anaerobic digestion and will cut CO2 emissions by 2,800 tonnes a year. When it comes online in 2013, it will also remove around 1,200 truck trips from the roads which is around 60% of the factory's traffic associated with waste.
