New large-scale renewable energy park to include aerobic digestion, biomass, biodiesel

December 13, 2020 |

In the United Kingdom, Scottish Construction Now reports that plans have been unveiled to construct a large-scale renewable energy park designed to deliver between 150 – 200 megawatts of green energy to supply to the Scottish grid, with the capacity to power tens of thousands of homes across the north-east of Scotland using biodiesel, aerobic digestion, mixed fuel gasification and biomass.

The developers, Edinburgh-based Holistic Energy hopes to commence in building in 2023 and be operational by 2026. Holistic Energy has completed a feasibility and evaluation study of what will be the UK’s first Holistic Low Carbon Energy Facility. The feasibility study has produced an outline layout of the facility, the range of technologies to be used and how these will interact, to ensure the best possible efficiency and the lower environmental impact.

Concepts have already drawn up to encompass and integrate several different energy generation technologies. These include a mixed fuel gasification and biomass plant, a green biodiesel production facility and an aerobic digestion (AD) plant. These will be housed alongside solar PV, wind energy, and supported by a green hydrogen production facility and large-scale battery storage facilities.

As a second phase to the project, Holistic Energy will explore the deep geothermal potential of the site.
