Planning permission has been approved for a new agricultural biogas plant in Newtown, Inishowen in Ireland.
The proposed facility will utilise agricultural waste to generate sustainable biogas, supporting local farmers and contributing to the area’s clean energy goals. The project aims to produce renewable energy while providing an environmentally friendly solution for managing farm waste.
Local authorities confirmed that the development meets all necessary environmental and regulatory requirements, with plans in place to ensure minimal impact on the surrounding community and ecosystem.
The facility is expected to create jobs during construction and operation phases, providing economic benefits alongside its green credentials.
This approval aligns with wider efforts across Ireland and the UK to boost biogas production as part of the transition to renewable energy sources. Agricultural biogas projects play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy security, and promoting circular economy principles by turning waste into valuable energy.
Developers now plan to move forward with detailed design and construction, aiming for commissioning in the near future.
