Work has begun on the £9million Euston biogas plant in Suffolk, the project contractor FLI Energy has confirmed.
The biomethane-to-grid anaerobic digestion facility is set to generate 10million cubic meters of biogas, the electrical equivalent of powering over 5,000 UK homes, when it comes online.
The plant itself is set to be powered by the renewable electricity and heat generated during the process.
UK contractors FLI will provide the design, construction and commissioning of the plant, as well as a five year maintenance and process analysis support, following the signing of a turnkey contract with project developers Strutt and Parker Farms in February this year.
“It is key to the success of such complex renewable energy projects to have early engagement with a specialist turnkey Contractor such as FLI Energy who have the overall capability to join the project team early on to ensure an optimal and de-risked solution is implemented,” Charlie Fillingham, managing director of Strutt and Parker Farms.
“We are confident that FLI will be able to draw on their significant Anaerobic Digestion project EPC experience to deliver an outstanding biogas plant.”
