[QUOTE="Al R, post: 7496726, member: 7565"] [USER=11407]@Rob_AD[/USER] will know more up to date than me but a 30t/day your looking at 500kw/hr. I have no idea on where the tarrifs are now but it needs to be upwards of 14p/kw to make a 500kw pay. Cost anywhere between £2-3m or it was 6 years ago but technology/equipment may well have got a lot cheaper. You can’t put any old rubbish in it either it’s got to be silage like you’d do for a 10,000+ litre Holstein herd. Beet has got to be washed and destoned to within an inch of its life or you’ll have some serious downtime unblocking/rebuilding pumps, taking the roof off every so often to clean out soil/grit with cranes/bobcats etc is all downtime and if that engine stops you don’t earn a penny! Not sure if their still going but the best systems i visited out of over 100 AD plants across Europe was Weltec (all stainless steel) and Marches Biogas in Ludlow although Marches was a lot dearer. Once tarrifs dropped to below 8.9p/kw on a 1MW AD plant it became unjustifiable. [/QUOTE]
