Spring Visit - Wednesday 16th April 2025
|
Our member- only Spring visit will be to the Stream BioEnergy facility just outside Ballymena on Wednesday 16th April 2025 at 11am. This is now fully booked but watch this space as we hope to have a second visit in the near future.
Stream BioEnergy is a biogas development and operation company with an emphasis on delivering infrastructure to process organic waste throughout the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland. As part of a vision for an improved, safer, more secure and sustainable clean energy future, Stream promotes the use of anaerobic digestion (AD) to generate renewable energy from organic waste and by- product materials in a way that safeguards the environment. Stream has developed and successfully operates an award-winning biogas plant near Ballymena. This is a unique facility that processes only poultry litter as a single feedstock (the first plant if its kind globally) generating 3MW of electricity from 40,000 tonnes per annum of material. The electricity generated is exported to the national grid and is sufficient to power c.4,000 homes. Planning permission has been secured for a large-scale expansion of this facility with development of that project underway. |
