BioWatt has been appointed to provide front end engineering design (FEED) work for a pre-construction biogas project with planning permission, due to start construction later this year.
The Project will involve the construction of a 46,000 tonnes per annum anaerobic digestion plant, access, clamps, biogas upgrading, grid entry, gas pipeline, power connection, CHP, lagoons, extensive highways improvements and associated works. BioWatt originally worked with the landowner to find a suitable investor and has now been retained by the future owner to provide FEED services required to bring the project to Financial Investment Decision (FID). Having brought three potential investors that matched the landowners desired for long term, blue chip ownership, a large energy asset infrastructure company was selected and secured the option to take on the project.
“BioWatt have been working on the preconstruction works associated with biogas construction projects for almost a decade. We have unparalleled practical experience of the wide range of elements that need bringing together in order to deliver a successful project to financial/ legal close and beyond. “
