A company planning to produce green biogas using crops and by-products from local farms and distilleries has submitted a planning application to The Highland Council, as part of plans to invest up to £55m in the region.
Acorn Bioenergy has accreditation to inject 5,000m3 of biomethane into Scotland’s gas grid to heat homes and power heavy goods vehicles.
The company wants to achieve that by developing new anaerobic digestion plants in the Highlands, Moray and Aberdeenshire, with a total investment in Scotland over the next two years of around £105m.
