Plans for 'UK's first' synthetic fuel energy park

by Xavier

Plans have been revealed for a new synthetic fuel energy park on the edge of a village near Swindon.

Rivan Industries wants to set up the "UK's first commercial-scale" plant to produce methane gas on a greenfield site to the north of Blunsdon.

Consisting of 15 shipping containers, the plant will be powered by a field of solar panels to produce renewable synthetic methane gas from limestone, water and electricity.

A public consultation is due to run until the beginning of May while a full planning application is expected to be submitted in June.
