UK Shifts From Fossil Gas to Green Domestic Methane – Three Maids Plant Marks New Energy Era
Acorn Bioenergy, a company of the Qualitas Energy Group, has officially commissioned its first biomethane plant in Three Maids Hill, Winchester. The facility produces over 120 GWh of biomethane annually, covering the heating needs of more than 9,000 households – providing a direct alternative to fossil natural gas.
The UK government is promoting biomethane as a replacement for fossil gas, supporting its expansion through schemes such as the Green Gas Support Scheme (GGSS) and the Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs). Qualitas Energy is investing in this market and has now launched its first biomethane plant in the UK.
