ENGIE Unveils Plans For Green Energy Hub In North Yorkshire

PMNews Team
28th Dec, 2024


Low-carbon energy supplier ENGIE has unveiled plans to establish a cutting-edge agricultural anaerobic digestion (AD) facility near Sherburn-in-Elmet, North Yorkshire. The initiative aims to revolutionize local farming practices by transforming agricultural feedstocks and farm waste into renewable gas and sustainable fertiliser, marking a significant stride in the UK’s journey towards net-zero emissions.

The proposed facility will utilize organic waste sourced from nearby farms to generate green gas, providing a clean energy alternative while producing digestate, a nutrient-rich byproduct of the AD process. Digestate serves as a natural fertiliser, offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly substitute for synthetic alternatives.

Stuart Rennie, Managing Director of Renewable Gases UK at ENGIE, highlighted the dual environmental and economic benefits of the project. “Currently, much of the farm waste in the area is spread directly onto land, a practice that releases carbon into the atmosphere. Our facility will convert this waste into a renewable gas supply, contributing to the sustainability of local farming and advancing the UK’s decarbonisation efforts,” Rennie explained.

In addition to environmental advantages, the project is set to deliver economic benefits to the local community. ENGIE plans to create new jobs and establish a Community Benefit Fund to support local initiatives. This aligns with the company’s broader commitment to fostering community engagement and resilience.

The proposal comes as part of the UK’s legally mandated goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Addressing emissions from the energy and agricultural sectors is a critical component of this target. North Yorkshire Council, which has adopted an ambitious Climate Change Strategy, is expected to review the application in early 2024, with construction potentially beginning by summer 2025 if approved.

Once operational, the facility will supply enough renewable gas to meet the annual energy needs of 5,200 homes. It will also provide a sustainable income stream for local farmers and enhance soil health with its organic fertiliser, contributing to a more resilient agricultural ecosystem.

ENGIE submits plan for Northern AD facility

ENGIE has submitted plans to East Riding of Yorkshire council for the development of an agricultural anaerobic digestion facility to the east of Long Lane, near High Catton.

The site will draw its feedstock from local farms, while also providing some with the byproduct digestate to be used as a fertiliser.

Following feedback received during the pre-application consultation, ENGIE has said it plans to restrict traffic movements through High and Low Catton to ensure the impact on local communities is minimised by the facility.

It is expected that East Riding of Yorkshire Council will make a decision on the plans early in the new year. If approved, work is anticipated to start by summer 2025.

Rob McKeon, head of business development for renewable gases UK at ENGIE, said: “ENGIE is a key player in the UK’s energy transition and is committed to creating a greener tomorrow. Anaerobic digestion is both a sustainable solution for dealing with agricultural wastes and a local supply of renewable gas.

“We’ve worked closely with the local community over the last couple of months to understand the issues that are important to them. The planning application is supported by a range of detailed, technical assessments that show how the facility will be operated with minimal impact on the local area.

“We’ve also had lots of positive conversations about how we can support local causes and give something back to the local community.”

ENGIE said that it hopes that the AD plant will both reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being released from local agriculture and provide a sustainable and consistent income for local farmers.

Additionally, it said it plans to initiate several community projects including a Community Benefit Fund to support local causes and educational visits for local schools and community groups.

ENGIE has selected Astatine and TLI Group to build three new solar farms in Ireland. The company said in a media release that these are its first onshore renewable projects in the country.

The projects will be located in Galway and Limerick counties. The three projects will have an installed capacity of 18 megawatts peak (MWp). Together they will provide enough electricity to power 4,100 homes.

The solar power installations in Ardnadoman, Dromsallagh, and Rooaun are among six projects granted funding through the Renewable Energy Support Scheme (RESS) 3 auction in 2023. The six collectively have a capacity of 60 MWp. The scheme is part of the country’s efforts to achieve at least 80 percent renewable electricity by 2030.

Construction of the initial three solar farms is expected to begin in January 2025, with a projected commissioning date of the second half of 2025, ENGIE said.

The energy company has also committed to establishing a community benefit fund connected to each solar farm. Approximately EUR 34,000 ($36,425) will be allocated by the fund to support communities, with support from a fund manager in Ireland.

“We are delighted to be investing in renewable energy in Ireland for the first time, demonstrating ENGIE’s commitment to expanding its renewable energy portfolio in the country”, Suresh Bhaskar, Managing Director of Renewables at ENGIE UK and Ireland, said. “These solar farms will not only contribute to the country’s clean energy mix but also bring significant economic and environmental benefits to local communities”.

The government of Ireland closed the fourth Onshore Renewable Electricity Support Scheme round in September this year. EirGrid plc as auction administrator said a total of 56 projects applied in the fourth round qualification process. A total of 43 projects qualified to participate in the auction, three failed to qualify while ten projects formally withdrew.

Europe gets its first ‘charging corridor’ for electric trucks in France
David Rogers
18.10.24


French autoroute operator APRR and green utility Engie Vianeo have opened Europe’s first electric-truck “charging corridor” between Paris and Lyon.

It consists of five new fast-charging stations in rest areas along the 440km route.

At each, a CCS 400-480kW charger will let drivers charge their trucks in 45 minutes, the length of a legally required rest stop, APRR said.





Engie Vianeo said they’re open to all types of heavy vehicles, including coaches, garbage trucks, and tractors with or without trailers, but drivers must book a slot in advance.

The goal is to make it easier for hauliers to electrify their fleets.

Engie Vianeo said it plans to open 11 more charging stations on the route by next year.

APRR held an opening ceremony for the corridor at La Galande rest area southeast of Paris.

The charging station there took under 12 months to install, reported Mobility.eu.

Heavy goods vehicles are responsible for 40% of transport-related emissions in France.

APRR expects the corridor to cut 40,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions in the next 10 years.

“Today, we are proud to be working alongside Engie Vianeo to decarbonise all forms of mobility,” said APRR manging director Guillaume Hérent.

ENGIE launches consultation on UK anaerobic digestion facility

By Anthony Wright on Oct 01, 2024

Decarbonisation

ENGIE Group (ENGIE) has launched a community consultation on its proposal to develop an agricultural anaerobic digestion (AD) facility near High Catton, UK, aiming to provide renewable energy to power approximately 5,200 homes.

The project is expected to boost the local rural economy through partnerships with farmers, contributing to the UK’s push towards Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The facility will convert biodegradable materials from nearby farms into low-carbon energy using the AD process, which breaks down organic matter in an oxygen-free environment to produce biogas.

The by-product of this process, a natural biofertiliser, is also expected to improve soil quality, offering farmers an alternative to expensive artificial fertilisers.

Rob McKeon, Head of Business Development at ENGIE Group, spoke on the dual benefits of the facility, saying, “Through our partnership with the local farming community we can help tackle the energy and environmental challenges of today, helping to lower the carbon footprint of farming and decarbonise our energy supply.”

In addition to providing green energy and supporting sustainable farming practices, the AD plant will generate local investment, create skilled jobs and offer long-term financial stability for farmers. The facility will also be complemented by woodland and hedgerow planting, enhancing local biodiversity.

The project aligns with the UK’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in the energy and agriculture sectors. As part of its Climate Strategy, East Riding of Yorkshire Council is working to address these challenges, with the ENGIE facility contributing to local and national sustainability efforts.

The community consultation process has already begun, with a drop-in session scheduled for Thursday, 10th October at Catton Village Hall.

Local residents are invited to provide feedback on the plans before the consultation period closes on 24th October.

“We’re looking forward to meeting with the local community to discuss the plans and would encourage people to come along and have their say,” said McKeon.

The project is expected to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels and contribute to energy security, while the Community Benefit Fund associated with the facility will support local causes.

Feedback gathered during the consultation will inform the final plans before ENGIE submits a formal planning application to East Riding of Yorkshire Council later this year.

ENGIE is involved in several anaerobic digestion (AD) projects across the UK. One of their key projects includes the Rainbarrow Farm AD facility in Dorset, which they acquired in 2024.

This facility has been operational for over a decade and produces biogas from agricultural feedstocks, generating renewable energy that powers around 3,500 homes.

The company has also partnered with Heathrow Airport to supply 100% green biomethane derived from AD. This partnership has helped the airport achieve carbon-neutral status by replacing natural gas with biomethane across all its terminals​
