The Irish Bioenergy Association (IrBEA) is looking for farmers interested in farm-scale anaerobic digestion to apply for its new small biogas demonstration project.
Capital funding of around €500,000 is available to assist in the development of AD plants to generate energy for on-farm use.
The project is open to all farming enterprises, but those which have an on-farm waste stream and a relatively high energy demand are most desirable.
The project is funded through the European Innovation Partnership and aims to promote and stimulate on-farm, small-scale biogas production by providing support and a capital contribution to three demonstration projects.
Farmers are urged to fill out an expression of interest form on the IrBEA website. The deadline is 1 November.
