Landfill Gas Development
For the purpose of utilising the biogas produced by KTK Landfill,
Greenstar and G.A.S. a German based landfill company have formed
a joint venture company known as “Greenstar Gas Energy
Ltd”. When fully commissioned KTK will generate 3.75 MW
of green electricity from biogas. A supply arrangement for the
off take of this power is in place with Airtricity.
The ESB has issued a connection agreement to the National
Grid. Both electricity generation
and supply licences from the Commission for Energy Regulation
(CER) have been issued.
All necessary legal instruments are now in
place for this valuable green energy project. G.A.S. as a shareholder in the joint
venture company has entered into a Design,
Build, Operate and Maintain contract to carry
out this function over the next decade.
Greenstar will follow this model in developing
landfill gas to energy projects for other
Greenstar landfills and other County Council
owned sites. |
