WQ.354/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
BY DEPUTY J. RENOUF OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 29th SEPTEMBER 2025
Question
"Will the Minister advise whether there have been any meetings or correspondence between the Government and Island Energy regarding the latter's recently announced plans to build an anaerobic digestion plant in Jersey and if so, will he provide details?"
Answer
I understand that, at the invitation of Island Energy Group, the Chief Officer and an officer of the Infrastructure and Environment Department met with Island Energy in August this year. The purpose of the meeting was to fact find (on IEG's part) to understand current use of anaerobic digestion (AD) by Infrastructure and Environment, including the operation of the current AD plant at the Bellozanne Sewage Treatment Works, and to understand waste arisings in the Island, as they (IEG) had signalled to Government that they were looking to expand into this area.
The Bellozanne Sewage Treatment Works currently uses a combined heat and power unit as an integrated part of the sludge treatment process to generate both heat and electrical power for the site fuelled by the gaseous by-products of sewage digestion.
No further contact in relation to AD, rDME or any other waste processing has been made since this initial discussion as far as I am aware.
