The Greenhill Dairy Farm Biogas plant is the first plant in Northern Ireland in 20 years to provide sustainable heat and power for homes and businesses. The power station mimics a cow’s stomach and cooks animal waste at 40°C (104°F) to produce methane gas. The gas is then piped into two engines that drive generators while hot water is also produced for drying plant waste, called digestate, and to pasteurise milk. This use of waste to produce valuable energy shows how rural areas and agriculture can function sustainably. Power derived from cow dung and grass silage cuts power prices for all consumers and decreases agricultures carbon footprint. Additionally, the unit will reduce Northern Irelands reliance on fossil fuels and prevent volatile energy prices whilst bringing new jobs to this rural area. The 700-acre Greenhill farm delivers grass and animal waste from some 600 cows to fuel the plant. Looking like a giant muffin, the plant produces 430 Kw of electricity per hour - enough to supply some 430 homes with electricity. Alfagy was selected by the developer for the project as the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and gas conditioning supplier after a competition against GE Energy, MWM and MAN. The project faced challenges in getting funding from a bank during the financial crisis that is still raging internationally. However, Alfagys’ high level of quality and service convinced the bank to grant a development loan. This is considered something of an accomplishment in the current climate according to Peter Kindt, Alfagy chairman. "Given the current credit crunch, this project is certainly an important demonstration of a sustainable energy future. The deciding factor for the finance of the project was our plant’s world beating efficiency that produced 1.8 million more revenue than the competition. Our payback is simply the fastest in the market,” adds Peter Kindt. The Ardstraw power plant will be the 52nd biogas power plant in the <strong>UK</strong> and only the second in Northern Ireland. More farmers in Northern Ireland are now considering similar projects, reports the company.
