Local residents want to know more about Adnams biogas plant plans

Adnams and Bio Capital are preparing to hold an open consultation process and both firms said they were “keen to engage the community in the conversation”.

Public events will be held at Southwold Arts Center on October 8 and 9, where people can speak to representatives and see images of the proposed facility.

Adnams said the scheme would create local jobs, as well as provide green fuel for the company’s HGV fleet, green gas for the brewery and green CO2 for the brewery process.

Chief Executive Jenny Hanlon said: “It is well known that at the heart of Adnams is a very strong sense of responsibility for sustainability, climate and society.

“We are excited at the thought that this will help all homeowners in the community make huge strides on their personal journey to net zero. Their own household waste will be put to great use going forward.”

Referring to the upcoming consultation period, he said: “We attach great importance to public consultations and educational initiatives as we take our next steps in this process.

“We want to ensure local residents understand the benefits of the AD facility and want to hear all ideas about collaboration and creative celebration for this initiative as we move forward.”

Mick Fishwick, Chief Operating Officer at Bio Capital, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Adnams on this vital project, reflecting our shared commitment to sustainability and renewable energy.”
