Welcome to
Moy Valley Biogas
The promoters of Moy Valley Biogas plan to develop an Agri Biogas plant subject to planning permission being obtained. The project location is adjacent to the old Swinford dump site in the townland of Lislackagh outside Swinford town. A biogas plant produces renewable gas, which means that the inputs (products fed into the plant) are not finite(limited) and are produced locally in an effort to create a sustainable economy model for the farming community around Swinford.
The feedstock will be exclusively fed by two common agricultural products. Approximately 65% of the input will be a multi sward crop grown locally.
Products
We spoke about the inputs, now let’s talk about the outputs. The outputs are renewables as they are not produced from a finite source and as a result will attract greater value as society and governments push everyone towards a greener economy that is sustainable.
Who Are Moy Valley Biogas
Currently we comprise of five individuals committed to creating a circular rural economy that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. The objective of our first phase is to locate a suitable site, engage with the local community and deliver planning permission for a green biogas plant in the Swinford area. After phase one we are committed to creating a community based enterprise that will allow people to invest in the project if they wish or simply get involved in making it a success.
