Powering your office with sustainable energy

At Blisworth Hill Business Park, we’re eager to do our bit to help the planet, protect the natural environment, and reduce our impact on both. With access to a lot of space and a working crop farm, we decided to put our site features to good use – installing an Anaerobic Digestion plant to turn maize into usable energy.

How it works

Based on the edge of the site, our AD machine feeds off our maize harvest to generate 250kW/h that will power the busines park. While digesting the maize, grass and whole crop, it uses the methane released as fuel to create electricity. Any excess power is fed back into the national grid, ensuring no wastage.

Speaking of waste, the digested biomass creates an odour-free digestate. This is an excellent fertiliser that we will use for the next round of feedstock, ensuring the healthy growth of crops ready to power our site for the following year.

The Eco-friendly Benefits

By choosing office space at Blisworth Hills, you can feel better about your space knowing that your lights, computers, microwaves and telephones are powered by eco-friendly energy. Just by doing your day job, you’re doing your bit by reducing your carbon footprint and supporting the planet.
