British renewable energy firm Tamar Energy has secured planning consent for the improved design of its anaerobic digestion (AD) facility, to be constructed in the London Borough of Bromley.
The proposed AD facility is the company’s sixth of its type and will have the capability of converting close to 45,000 tonnes of food waste into renewable energy annually.
Expected to be commissioned in late 2015, the plant will begin generating power in early 2016.
The clean energy generated at the plant will be enough to power around 4,000 homes in the country.
Tamar Energy CEO Willie Heller said: "The Bromley AD facility is ideally located to make the best use of the organic waste in the local area. Rather than being sent to landfill or transported long distances, this waste will be used in the most sustainable way – as the feedstock to generate renewable energy".
"The improved design provides greater operational efficiency and an enhanced digestate solution for the site, whilst having no visual or environmental impacts beyond the original scheme."
