Proposals are being drawn up for a new zero-carbon biomethane plant near Oulton, which will provide sustainable energy and support the local rural economy.

Bluestone Biogas Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Future Biogas Limited, who are a leading UK producer of biomethane, owning and operating facilities across the country.

Biomethane is a clean alternative to North Sea and imported fossil fuel gas. It is generated using bioenergy crops from local farmers, which are grown sustainably as part of crop rotations that also produce food. Unlike some other operators, we do not process food or animal waste of any kind.

Our biomethane is injected directly into the national network, replacing fossil fuel gas and helping to cut greenhouse gas emissions without the need for the construction of additional network infrastructure.

We offer local farmers a guaranteed regular income, helping them to maintain sustainable businesses and supporting the area’s vital rural economy at a time of great financial uncertainly in the agricultural sector.

All our sites run an application-based local community funding scheme which support projects such as air ambulances, sporting and play equipment, biodiversity initiatives and village halls.

The proposed site for our planned Bluestone Biogas facility is at the former RAF Oulton, immediately to the east of the B1149.

This has been identified as a suitable location as it benefits from a national gas network connection, local growing opportunities for bioenergy crops, and a variety of other factors.

We would like to invite you to join us at a drop-in exhibition for the community on Wednesday, 28th May from 1pm to 7pm at:

Bure Valley Community Centre,
Itteringham
NR11 7AX

The project team will be in attendance to meet you and answer any questions you may have regarding the proposals.

The consultation material will also be available to view here from 28th May.
