Biogen signs deal for 3rd food waste recycling plant in Wales

In Wales, Biogen has signed an agreement with the Tomorrow’s Valley Hub led by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council and including Merthyr Tydfil and Newport City Councils, to construct and operate a green energy plant in the area. Preparatory work at the site has begun this month and construction work is set to start in January 2014.

The new anaerobic digestion facility has the capacity to convert 22,500 tonnes of food waste into green electricity. Based on current food waste recycling rates across the three councils involved, this could result in a further one megawatt of green electricity being generated, powering an additional 1,500 homes. UK- based Biogen has carried out the design and implementation of the new process.
