Renewable-energy firm Helius Energy yesterday moved a step closer to establishing a £50million biomass processing plant in Moray.
Helius said it had formally formed a joint-venture with the Combination of Rothes Distillers (CoRD), a group created in 1904 to process pot ale – the sludge left at the bottom of whisky stills – from distilleries in the Rothes area.
New firm Helius CoRDe will build, finance and operate the green-energy scheme at Rothes Distillery.
The project is expected to generate 7.2 megawatts of electricity, enough for about 9,000 homes, and turn pot ale into a concentrated organic fertiliser and an animal feed for use by local farmers.
