A FRESH APPROACH TO PRODUCE
The future's looking green for Fenmarc
Fenmarc Produce Ltd is well on its way to running all of its factories on green energy produced from Anaerobic Digestion
Building work has already begun on the AD Plant, adjacent to our potato packing facililty in March. Sister company Local Generation is building the plant, a £6 million investment project for the group. It will transform 30,000 tonnes of food waste each year into clean, green energy. With plans to be fully operational later in 2011, it will generate 1.2MW of electrical power.
Richard Anderson, Managing Director here at Fenmarc is delighted that the
project has started. “We’re looking forward to our factories being
driven by green energy, offsetting our total power usage across our
three sites. The project is a significant investment for the group
and is part of our ongoing environmental plan, contributing to a
sustainable green future”.
The Fenmarc/Local Generation model is designed to divert waste from
landfill and unlike many AD plants being built within the
agricultural sector it will not require crops to be grown specially
to maintain the operation. The facility will process packaged and
unpackaged food waste, taking a large amount of waste from landfill
and recycling as much as possible in the process as well as
producing green energy.
