ea have rejected the idea of a power station fed off chicken muck on outskirts of Hereford.
Have there been any proposals to build anaerobic digesters which are fed purely on chicken litter? We have 1 very large one in Northern Ireland and I think there are 2 farm scale digesters which have converted to litter only. The large one has planning proposals to increase its capacity significantly and if approval is granted the vast majority of litter will go to digesters within the next 5 years. NI previously looked at incineration but it was rejected on environmental grounds.
At least with digesters there is another process that generates electricity and the digestate can go through further processing if necessary to either suit farmers or horticulture businesses. The large digester I mention is sending most of their solids into the horticulture sector (both commerical and domestic).
