Biogas Power to Make Green Electricity for Norfolk Military Base
Biogas power will generate Green Electricity for a Norfolk Military Base, it has been announced.
An Anaerobic Digestion Plant RAF joint venture will result in almost all of the Norfolk base's electricity requirement.
It will from now on be supplied from a new on-farm green renewable energy resource NOW operating.
The RAF Marham military base will be supplied from the Biogas Plant Shown here.
Minister for Defence People & Veterans Tobias Ellwood MP has described anaerobic digestion (AD) as “a truly green and sustainable solution” as he launched a new deal that will see a Norfolk military base receive almost all its power from a nearby AD plant.
Future Biogas’s Redstow Renewables AD plant, which converts locally harvested crops such as maize, sugar beet, rye, and potatoes into renewable electricity (in the form of biogas made from the whole crop including the leaves and the stalks), and natural fertilizer. This will meet over 95% of the power needs of the nearby RAF military base.
The base will be the first in the UK to run almost entirely on green electricity.
The AD plant will generate 4.5 megavolt amperes of electricity every day, enough to power 350,000 LED bulbs.
The deal will save the Ministry of Defence nearly £300,000 every year and reduce its carbon emissions by 14,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
The waste residue from the AD process will also be dried and used as fertilizer to help grow local crops.
RAF Marham is leading the way as Britain’s first green military airbase.
The biogas fuel is a truly green and sustainable solution, helping us tackle climate change, support the local economy and save taxpayer money.
"I hope that this plant can act as a model and we can see more sustainable energy schemes rolled out across other military bases."

News of Biogas Power which is providing Green Electricity to a Norfolk Military Base, and high praise for the green credentials of biogas production. Why then is the same government ending the Feed-in-Tariff subsidy at the end of next month (March 2019)?
