Local plant produced too much gas and having to burn it off even thou there’s a shortage
Was told he was over producing so had to burn off the excessIs it that it's producing too much or that it isn't of the correct quality to feed into the grid?
A gas to grid AD plant that I know of has to add propane to it to feed it into the grid. Sometimes (or more often occasionally) they flare it off if it isn't up to scratch.

I recon they would be better grassing it down and letting someone from Hereford have it for round bales ......Mmmmm AD plants !!!
Carting Maize 35 miles to save the environment?
Your probably right but do people that have paid taxes to subsidise such building of these plants that have had massive hikes in gas prices actually know this is happening still when there is no gas ?If e doesn't have storage, what is the alternative?
And probably every one of them showing complete disregard for the lawMmmmm AD plants !!!

German concept ....ONLY in the UK would you have AD plants & be able to call them “green” or “environmental”
Anywhere else they’d be a disaster . . .
The idea is quite ludicrous, but its not just in the UK, there's plenty more in other parts of Western Europe. It all dates back around 20 years when in order to meet "green" targets Govt's were throwing money at all forms of renewable energy, some were efficient. some were hopelessly inefficient. One of the most notorious was a biomass heating grant in Northern Ireland that was so generous it paid more than the entire cost of fuel. As a result buildings were opening their windows to let heat out in order to keep the boilers running.ONLY in the UK would you have AD plants & be able to call them “green” or “environmental”

Nothing wrong with AD plants utilising food/ag waste to create a usable energy source.ONLY in the UK would you have AD plants & be able to call them “green” or “environmental”

That one did bring about the downfall of a government though...The idea is quite ludicrous, but its not just in the UK, there's plenty more in other parts of Western Europe.

There's a good set up by Ross on Wye that does just that...all waste products.Nothing wrong with AD plants utilising food/ag waste to create a usable energy source.
Subsidising it, makes it inefficient
