Stream BioEnergy Ltd., a leading developer, owner and operator of renewable biogas facilities in Ireland and the United Kingdom, is constructing an €80 million ($94 million) biomethane plant in Ireland.
When operational in 2027, the facility in Little Island, Cork, will process 90,000 metric tons of domestic and commercial food and garden waste per year. It will reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, while delivering more than 80 gigawatt-hours of renewable biomethane annually to the Irish National Grid, making it Ireland’s largest biomethane facility processing municipal food and garden waste, and meaningfully contributing to the Irish government’s 2030 targets under the National Biomethane Strategy.
As well as producing renewable gas that will replace the use of fossil fuels in hard to abate sectors, such as heating and transport, the facility will produce sustainable biofertilizers by recycling nutrients fr
