33. Benefits of Community Biogas
• Reduces quantity of waste going to landfill.
• Less landfill gas (methane) produced.
• Less food waste - reduces problems of rodents /
seagulls at the landfill site.
• Turns waste into useful power source (gas,
electricity or heat).
• Fits with ‘Big Society’ ambitions of Government.
34. Waste - Hastings (only):
30,000 houses ~ 15,000 tons of waste = 7,500 tonnes of food/paper waste
Include businesses, hospitals, schools = 7,500 tonnes bio-degradable waste
Include garden/landscaping waste = 20-25,000 tonnes per year (?)
A very rough estimate!
This plant would handle 13,000 tons of bio-waste per year
38. There are 3 potential sites:
1. Southern Water Waste Water Treatment works – WWT- space permitting
2. The former Biffa composting area in front of the WWT
3. The bunded area with hard standing behind the former Reprotech site
Could the land-raise site support a solar park as well as a biogas chp plant? Wind
turbines? As identified in the Element Energy Carbon Reduction report
commissioned by HBC.
