Peel Environmental’s has won approval for its £150m ($193m) biogas-to-fuel conversion plant, the first commercial-scale UK operation of its kind. The plant is designed to process 175,000 mt of bio waste into low-carbon fuel for heavy goods vehicles and buses. The Bio-Substitute Natural Gas plant will be part of Progressive Energy Protos energy hub located between Manchester and Liverpool. Production is expected to begin in 2022. The process can also generate gas for domestic and office heating, Progressive said. The site could also be reconfigured to make renewable hydrogen, potentially linking to the HyNet regional hydrogen network project.
