Donegal bio energy firm, Connective Energy Holdings Limited, has announced 90 new jobs over the next two years in its biogas production plants across the country. A total of 15 jobs will be created at one of the company’s digestion facilities in the Glenmore Estate in Aghaveagh, Co Donegal, when it opens later this year. The company says it will employ up to 90 people within the next two years with the creation of two more facilities in Co Dublin and Co Down later this year, and three additional plants next year. Each anaerobic digestion facility will take in about 90,000 tonnes of organic material such as farm slurry, poultry litter and manure and convert this material into bio gas to be used as a fuel and CO2, used in the food and drinks industry. Speaking at the announcement of the new jobs, Brendan McSorley, development manager of Connective Energy Holdings Limited, said the plants would remove and recycle CO2 as a food product leaving “clean organic fertiliser used as soil conditioner”. He described the process as “environmentally friendly”.
