Nottingham Lane – Vale View Farm

We are proposing a new biomethane facility that will be located at Vale View Farm, to the west of Nottingham Lane, surrounded by agricultural land with few nearby homes.

The site

The facility will sit on an area of land within Vale View Farm to the west of Nottingham Lane about equal distance between Station Road and Six Hills Lane. Land immediately bordering the site  is largely agricultural with few homes in close proximity. Farm buildings associated with Vale View Farm front Nottingham Lane, as well as the farm’s equestrian centre. The site itself will be positioned about 0.5km from the lane behind these buildings and other farm structures.

The site was selected for its proximity to the national gas grid, availability of local agricultural feedstock and the need to manage agricultural waste. Additionally, the site offers enough space for mitigation measures to protect local residents, businesses, and biodiversity while ensuring a a safe and secure supply of local green gas.

Green gas for local homes

Each one of our new developments should provide enough renewable gas to power approximately 5,200 homes locally.

Local farmers

Ensuring a sustainable and consistent income for local farmers.

Education

Offering educational visits for local schools and community groups 

Circular economy

Contributing to the circular economy, using feedstock from local farmers to power the community.

With four biomethane plants already operating safely and reliably across the South West, coupled with our vast experience and passion for renewable energy, we are proud to lead the UK’s energy transition. Our green gas powers tens of thousands of local homes, supports farmers and helps shape a cleaner future.

About ENGIE and anaerobic digestion

About ENGIE

ENGIE is a leading energy transition utility dedicated to providing sustainable solutions that drive the transition to a low-carbon economy. We focus on renewables, flexibility and clients to create a more sustainable future.

Supporting rural communities

We have a strong history of partnering with local farmers to reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture while supporting soil health. By growing crops for the biogas facility as part of a crop rotation cycle and using organic biofertiliser from the AD process, we help replenish the soil, improve its quality, and boost crop production.

What is anaerobic digestion?

Anaerobic Digestion is a proven process that breaks down organic, biodegradable materials in a sealed tank without oxygen, using naturally occurring microorganisms and bacteria. During this process, the feedstock produces biogas, which is captured and converted into renewable gas and electricity, offering a low-carbon alternative to natural gas.

Farmer and Contractor Troy Stuart

“It has given us a reliable income stream, a base margin in the farm – we know we can invest in the long term. We’ve noticed since using the digestate as a soil enhancer we have far better crops and we use it on our grassland too.” Troy Stuart
