Brocklesby Biogas owned by Iona Capital, is a waste to energy plant which works in cooperation with Brocklesby Ltd. Brocklesby Ltd is a recycling facility that recycles used cooking oil and fatty food waste to produce biodiesel and produces a liquid byproduct that is used in the next-door anaerobic digestion plant. The plant processes 70,000 tonnes of liquid food waste per year and generates 7MW of heat and electricity. The project also recovers value from the material produced from the digestion process via producing PAS 110 accredited organic fertilizer for surrounding farming activities. Brocklesby Biogas has the capacity to increase its level of heat use over the next few years as the potential for a private wire opportunity to a local business which would further improve its sustainability offering to the surrounding area of North Cave, Hull. The project is also eligible for ROC’s and RHI tariffs which help improve the projects overall profitability.
