Anaerobic Digester for the Isle of Wight
The strategic direction and vision for the Isle of Wight is to become a carbon neutral Eco Island embracing renewable energy as part of its agenda.
This strategy will encompass all 'green' initiatives from tourism to transport, building to planning and all aspects of Island life.
Central to this strategy is the building of an anaerobic digester to generate sufficient electricity for the island to become self sufficient in green electricity. This electricity will then be used to power air source heat pumps as of part of a renewable energy strategy.
It is hoped that the feed materials for the AD plant will come from the private sector (especially supermarkets and other commercial food users) and also the public sector including hospitals, prisons and schools.
The cost of shipping waste food to the mainland or land fill is both inappropriate and high in carbon miles and will be actively discouraged.
The nitrogen bi-product will be sold to farmers for fertilizer again making huge carbon savings in not having to import tons of bulky material.
Pure Green Energy is ideally placed to lead this initiative as it partners with the Rolton Group who have already delivered an successful AD plant in Northamptonshire.
