OFFALY County Council will publish its decision next Wednesday, January 27 on whether to allow Strategic Power Ltd to build an anaerobic digester at Ballyduff, Tullamore.
If it gets planning permission the development will include a feedstock reception hall, two primary digester tanks, one secondary digester tank, two liquid digestate storage tanks, two manure reception tanks, a solid digestate store and pasteurisation unit.
Permission is being sought for 10 years. The proposed development will require an industrial emissions licence from the Environmental Protection Agency. An Environmental Impact Assessment report accompanied the planning application.
