First Milk, Clearfleau and Renewables Unlimited today announce completion of the initial construction stage of an innovative anaerobic digestion (AD) plant at the creamery.
The partnership will convert the creamery’s whey permeate into bio-methane for use by the factory and the local gas grid network. The new facility will be operational in early 2016 and will be the largest on-site AD plant in the dairy sector in the UK and Europe.
