20120127_IMG_8406.jpg The Farmgen anaerobic bio digestor at Dryholme Farm near Silloth Cumbria, UK. The plant which cost £4.5 million, produces 1.2 Mw of electricity, enough to power 2000 households. It uses around 25,000 tons of feedstock annualy, mainly maize and grass, which is mixed with farm slurry and fed into the massive digestors where bacteria break it down. The resulting methane is what powers the electricity generator. The waste product can be spread on the land as a fertilizer, and there are also plans to dry it and sell as biomass boiler fuel. This shot shows hot water from the generator going to warm the digestors.

IMG_0770_water pressure.jpg A small scale hydro electric station at Kilnstones in Longsleddale, Lake District, UK. The system incorporates a refurbished 76 year old pelton turbine. It can generate 25 Kw of electricity and with the feed in tariff for renewable energy generation should make the owner around £25,000 per year. It has a head of 100 metres. There is huge potential for small scalehydro projects in the Lake District, and other upland areas of the UK.

IMG_8498_water pressure.jpg Fljotsdalur hydro power station part of Karahnjukar a massive new contorversial hydro electricity project in North East Iceland, in the wilderness area of Vatnajokull, created by damming the Jokuls a Dal river. Controversial as it flooded a huge area of one of Europes last wilderness areas, that was home to nesting Whooper Swans and Pink Footed Geese. The project does however produce 40% of Icelands electricity from renewables. The projects statistics are as follows, power generation, 700MW, gross head, 600 metres, Max flow 144 M/sec, Halslon Lake area 57KM squared, storage volume 2.1 million metres, dam height 198m (the tallest in Europe) headrace tunnels 73km. 100 % of Icelands electricity is generated from renewables, 70% from hydro and 30% from geothermal. This shot shows valves that control the water flow into the turbines.
