Tamar awards construction contract for UK biogas plant

Tamar Energy, a biogas plant developer based in the UK, is progressing with its anaerobic digestion facility in Hertfordshire, which will convert food waste into 3MW.

Under a recently awarded £14.5 million (€17.6 million) contract, Imtech Water, Waste and Energy will build the new plant, designed to handle around 66,000 tonnes a year of leftover food into enough energy to power 6,000 homes.

Tamar plans to establish a portfolio of 40 anaerobic digestion facilities over the next five years.
