Construction to begin on €30m bioenergy plant which will convert chicken waste into biogas
Stream BioEnergy is constructing the plant at Ballymena, Co Antrim, which will be able to convert 40,000 tonnes of chicken waste per annum.
The plant design combines conventional and proven anaerobic digestion technology with a new nitrogen-stripping system meaning this will be the first plant of its type in the world to run exclusively on chicken litter, the safe disposal of which is proving to be a significant challenge for the poultry sector in Ireland.
