THE SITE

The overall site will be around 6 hectares and will be naturally screened around its perimeter by trees, part of which is already formed by established woodland to the west.

The plant will have five tanks comprised of three flat-roof primary digesters and two post digesters. The site will also contain silage clamps to hold around half of the annual crop feedstock required, a fully covered and sealed digestate store and will be designed to capture and retain any run-off and surface water.

Future Biogas will be using the same technology it has applied at 10 previous sites across East Anglia.

Plans for this plant includes the ability to capture the naturally occurring by-product, CO₂. The plant will prepare the CO₂ to be transported away from site and permanently stored in either geological formations or embedded in long-lasting products like concrete. This process is called Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS).
