After quite a bit of controversy, the plans for the anaerobic digester on Great Porthamel Farm near Talgarth have been approved by the National Parks. They decided it comes under the heading of farm diversification (which they are in favour of). It will provide electricity for up to 300 homes.
At the moment, the waste products from Merthyr Tydfil abattoir are spread on the fields direct - when the plant is built they will make electricity first (and anaerobic means the process is sealed off from the air, because they don't want any oxygen in there - so no smell), and what's left will be used as fertiliser. They say the liquid fertiliser is almost odourless, too.
Deliveries to the farm must be routed to avoid going through Talgarth and Bronllys.
