Dairy Crest to reduce carbon emissions
Date: 03/06/2010
The total cost of the project is £4.2m (€5m). This is offset by a grant provided by the South West Regional Development Agency through the South West Bioheat Programme (SWBP).
Run by sustainable energy agency Regen SW and supported by the Forestry Commission, the SWBP promotes the use of wood fuel as renewable energy.
The plant, which has been designed and will be built, operated and maintained by energy management company Dalkia, is expected to be fully operational by April 2011.
Chris Terrett, site general manager at Dairy Crest Davidstow, said: “Biomass is renewable, sustainable and carbon neutral. The biomass project uses clean waste wood pellets from Dalkia’s processing facility which is a sustainable UK based source, which in turn means the carbon to air emission savings will be around 17,000 tonnes a year.”
