Delivering Successful AD
Downing
ENGIE UK provided a full management service including engagement with key stakeholders such as feedstock suppliers, the EA and health & safety executive, local residents, councils and Ofgem. There is a strong local site management team and operators that are fully responsible for the day-to-day activities of the site. This team is supplemented by ENGIE UK’s support services.
Downing’s plant now consistently tuns at the designed 1,000m3/hour biogas output with an availability of 98%. We are continuing to work with new feedstock suppliers and the local planning authority to explore ways in which new food by-products can be introduced to the facility.
