Key figures – the opportunity:

  • Potential for up to a 2.5ha greenhouse heated using onsite resources
  • Up to 1MW heat available from a combination of sewage heat and biogas CHP from AD
  • Potential to supply 5,200 tonnes per year of clean CO2 to a horticulture facility
  • Potential payback of 6.4 years for commercial salad production, resulting in a payback time of 8 years for our client based on key assumptions
  • Estimated reduction of 35% on BAU embodied carbon emission for strawberries grown onsite
  • Potential to create up to 15 employment opportunities
  • Contact made with all commercial growers within a 20-mile radius of the site
