| By Cawleys Waste Management |

| The £1܂5m project is currently undergoing ´the final stages
of planning permission at Cornwall Council‚ and will involve
the construction of ´three part-buried digestion ´tanks‚ in
order ´to process local food waste‚ as well as 8‚000 ´tonnes a
year of farm waste from ´the Bocaddon site܂ When complete in Spring 2011‚ ´the plant is expected ´to produce 350-400kw/h electricity and 500kw/h heat – enough electricity ´to power 200 homes܂ The digester will also provide power and heat ´to both ´the farm and local businesses‚ including a proposed holiday cottage business and a holiday home for disabled children܂ Green and Pleasant will use ´the Norwegian Biowaz AS and Bristol based Bioplex digester ´technologies in ´the construction of ´the plant‚ in order ´to reduce costs‚ accelerate ´the digestion process and improve efficiency܂ Green and Pleasant Recycling managing director Julian Maiklem said: “The National Farmers Union reckons ´there’s room for 1‚000 digesters on farms in ´the UK‚ we actually think ´there’s room for more‚ but we ´think ´that’s a realistic figure܂ And we would like ´to see as many of ´those digesters as possible combining farm waste and biodegradable waste܂ “It’s better for ´the community‚ it engages local people within ´the community‚ money stays in ´the community‚ and we save carbon because we’re not shifting waste up and down Britain’s motorways in big lorries܂ It really is win‚ win‚ win܂” |
