About the AD Plant:
Constructed in 2017 with various partners including GCP Infrastructure Investments Ltd (“GCP”) and Qila Biogas Ltd, the Inchdairnie AD plant plays a pivotal role in the region’s renewable energy landscape by converting organic materials in biogas, which is then upgraded to biomethane and injected into the national gas grid, displacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. GCP completed ownership of the plant in 2020, and continues to manage the site as part of its impressive portfolio of 19 AD plants across the UK and Northern Ireland. The plant is accredited under two government subsidy schemes: the Renewable Heat Incentive and the Renewables Obligation.
The plant also creates value for the local economy. Inchdairnie Renewable Energy AD plant is located on farmland, with the farmer landlord supplying the feedstock including grass and rye via long term agreements. The plant is also supplied with pot ale and draff (by-products of the distilling process) from the nearby InchDairnie Distillery, contributing to the circular economy.
Inchdairnie Renewable Energy is committed to enhancing its environmental impact. Plans are underway to install CO₂ upgrading equipment to capture the biogenic carbon dioxide extracted during the biogas upgrading process. The captured bio-CO₂ can be used in various industries, including food and beverage, healthcare, and the production of sustainable aviation fuels. Additionally, there is potential for permanent sequestration of bio-CO₂ in geological storage sites, contributing to significant carbon emission reductions.
