Stream BioEnergy Ireland Limited has submitted plans for a multi-million euro anaerobic digestion facility in County Monaghan, near the border with County Cavan. The proposed 10-year renewable biogas plant will be located on approximately 6.2 hectares and aims to address poultry manure management, processing around 99,000 tonnes annually.

The facility plans to convert biodegradable materials into biomethane, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 42,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent per year. The project will include various buildings for administration, processing, and storage, and is expected to connect to the national gas transmission network at Cootehill.

Local road improvements are also planned to accommodate increased HGV traffic, with consultations confirming water supply feasibility. The facility will operate under an EPA Industrial Emissions Licence.
