Dryholme Farm (Farm AD) - 1 MW Biomass Power Plant in the United Kingdom

Dryholme Farm (Farm AD) is a biomass power plant located in the United Kingdom, specifically at coordinates 54.8563, -3.3586. With a capacity of 1 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the UK's renewable energy sector, contributing to the country's biomass power generation portfolio. The plant operates under the UK's regulatory framework, which includes the Renewable Obligation and the EU Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) for emissions control. As a farm-based anaerobic digestion plant, it uses agricultural waste as feedstock, a common practice in the UK's rural energy landscape. This facility plays a role in local waste management and renewable energy production, supporting the UK's transition to low-carbon energy sources. Its small scale allows it to integrate into agricultural operations, providing a sustainable energy solution for the local community.

The plant's biomass fuel source, primarily agricultural waste, results in lower CO2 emissions compared to fossil fuels, though it still produces some emissions from combustion. Its small capacity (1 MW) limits its environmental footprint, and its location in a rural area reduces proximity to dense populations. The UK's regulatory environment, including emissions standards under the Industrial Emissions Directive, ensures that the facility operates within environmental limits.
