"How does an Agri Biogas Plant contribute to a circular economy?"

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. In the same way as a farmer produced and cut a crop of grass for hay or silage, this proposed crop will be made up of multi sward (multiple crops) including clover and other nitrogen restoring plants that ensure the need for less fertiliser. Moy Valley Biogas aim to engage with farmers and guide them through the process enabling them to generate productive feedstock for the plant while reducing the need for fertiliser and also using the rich fertiliser being produced as an output of the plant.
The other input is slurry and farmyard manures(35%), collected from the farm yard. Prior to transport from the farmyard the slurry will undergo a volume reduction phase which ensures that the quantity transported to the biogas plant is greatly reduced, thereby resulting in improved efficiencies, less transport costs and reduced traffic. Another aspect of the slurry management is that the product is transported in an airtight tanker, similar in appearance to an oil truck. This ensures that the surrounding community is not impacted in any way with regard to odours from materials being transported to and from the plant
