Weltec Begins Construction of UK Biomethane Plant
by Erin Voegele (Biomass Magazine) Weltec Biopower, a biogas plant manufacture based in Germany, recently announced it has started building a biomethane plant in Pontefract, U.K. for Lanes Farm Energy, a gas-to-grid project developed by Aqua Consultants.
The plant is expected to begin operations later this year and will deliver 7.3 million cubic meters of biomethane to the U.K. gas distribution network, enough to supply approximately 9,600 households.
