 Renewable
Energy and Biofuels Tours
 The production of Renewable Energy and Biofuels are
established technologies but there are few places within the UK
where one can see mature plants in operation. The purpose of the
renewable energy tour is to provide those serious about renewable
energy projects with the evidence that the technology is proven
and delivers what is promised.
We have built a network of contacts in the renewable
energy sector across Europe to enable us to show renewable energy
projects and biofuels in a working environment for both small scale
and industrial scale operations. Listed for your information are
the options for inclusion in bespoke tours which will be designed
to fit your need. These are all successful operations, well established
and with proven payback records, either directly benefiting local
communities or small farming cooperatives:
 Anaerobic
Digestion
Small scale. Visit a small farm producing electricity
from an AD plant using pig or cow slurry and dry feed stock delivered
by local farmers as part of a cooperative. Theses farm produce electricity
direct to the grid at a contracted price set for 10 or more years.
Anaerobic Digestion – Industrial Scale
Visit a medium size town using AD to produce power
for the town. The plant is owned by the local authority, a major
power company and local farmers who produce the feed stock for the
system.
Biomass – Small scale
 Visit
a farm using biomass – wood chip, to power a generator producing
electricity for the grid.
Biomass – Industrial Scale
Visit a large plant facility and see an industrial
scale biomass boiler providing hot water and heat to all municipal
buildings and a number of private houses, using wood provided by
local farmers. The plant is owned by the local authority, the energy
company and the local farmers.
Photovoltaic
See solar powered systems providing light and hot
water as part of a combined heating system supporting a biomass
woodchip boiler. These mixed systems are common across both countries
and will be seen in farm buildings, hotels and municipal buildings.
Rape Seed
 See
use of Rape seed presses by both small scale and industrial scale
plants to produce fuel to operate machinery and vehicles and for
use in production of biofuels.
Biofuel
See the production of food stock, mixing process and
use of biodiesel.
Wind Power
See wind farm and single tower wind facilities supplying
a range of customers as part of a mix of renewable energy alternatives.
Government and Academia
The tour can include the opportunity to speak to government
representatives and academic specialists dealing with all forms
of renewable energy, food stocks and biofuels, to obtain first had
information about technologies and government policies.
All tours are accompanied by German speaking tour guides and offer
transportation and flights.
