Construction is now progressing on Phase Two of a large-scale renewable biogas and biofertiliser production facility beside the M7 near Monasterevin in Co Kildare.
The new development located at Lackaghmore will process up to 165,000 tonnes of feedstock annually and is set to connect directly to the existing Gas Networks Ireland (GNI) infrastructure.
The developers are Evergreen Agricultural Enterprises Ltd based in Walshestown, Naas.
The estimated construction value of the project - which has a floor area of a massive 19,000 square metres - is €19m.
A renewable biogas and biofertilizer production facility utilizes organic waste to produce biogas, a renewable energy source, and biofertilizer, a nutrient-rich soil amendment.
This process, often involving anaerobic digestion, creates a circular economy by recycling waste and reducing reliance on fossil fuels and synthetic fertilizers.
