VTTI has started construction on its first bio-energy production plant in the UK in Licolnshire. The plant, part of the Glentham Green Energy (GGE) project, will produce 60 GWh of renewable natural gas annually, enough to heat over 5,200 homes.

About the project
The plant will process organic waste streams from agriculture, such as straw, chicken manure and potato waste, and inject the upgraded green gas into the National Gas Transmission network. This will help reduce the UK’s dependency on fossil fuels and contribute to the country’s sustainability goals.
In addition to green gas, the facility will produce organic digestate, which will be used locally to replace fossil-based fertilisers and enrich the soil with organic material. Commercial operations at the facility are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2025.
This development is part of VTTI’s strategy to invest in sustainable forms of energy storage, processing and production, and the facility will be part of VTTI’s growing portfolio of bio-energy facilities in Europe.
