Tipperary could soon welcome a new biogas energy plant, after Annaholty Green Energy Limited submitted plans to the local council. The proposed facility is set to be built in Annaholty, near Birdhill in the county’s north, reports Bioenergy Insight.
The project includes two anaerobic digesters, a secondary storage digester, a digestate storage tank, two manure reception tanks, a desulphurisation unit, pasteurisation and cooling tanks, as well as supporting infrastructure. Additional facilities would include a pump room with air filtration, a mixing tank, offices, workshops, a rainwater harvesting system, and a two-storey office building.
Annaholty Green Energy is linked to GreenGas, which runs a similar anaerobic digester in Limerick. The company established its first biogas plant in Shanagolden, Limerick, in 2010, producing biomethane for Ireland’s national gas grid—a model it plans to replicate in Tipperary.
The company says the new plant would contribute to Ireland’s renewable energy transition and help cut greenhouse gas emissions by offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
