The plans from Wyke Farms will allow the company to save over 4 million kilos of carbon dioxide per annum and make them self-sufficient in green energy.
Wyke Farms have been planning their green energy strategy since 2005 and applied for planning permission back in March. Building of the bio gas plant is set to start immediately, since the permission was granted last week.
The company is planning to source all of their electricity from both solar and biogas, generated from the farm and dairy waste. The business has already invested in solar arrays on farm buildings.
Wyke Farms are in discussions with their energy advisors to ensure that will be maximising their opportunity for sustainable green growth and accurately measuring their results.
