A renewable energy company has submitted a planning application
to generate energy from grass on sites where fracking is planned in Lancashire.
Ecotricity propose two green gas mills. Species rich grass grown on farmland
would be harvested and undergo anaerobic digestion to produce renewable gas for
heating buildings. They claim this process would cut carbon emissions, help
create wildlife habitats, improve soils if grass is grown in rotation with food
crops and provide income for farmers. The company is hoping to provide an
alternative form of renewable energy and provide a viable alternative to
fracking.
