Today the plant can process 40,000 tonnes of organic waste per year. The Biogas generated powers two engines that produce enough electricity for 2000 local homes. The bio-fertiliser bi product gets distributed to local farms. The plant itself is also powered entirely by the energy generated on-site.The site plays an important part in helping Kettering and Northamptonshire councils reach nationally set targets to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill.To bookPlaces are limited due to the numbers that can be accommodated at the plant at any one time.
