Galway Bay fm newsroom - A second attempt is being made to develop a biogas plant in Gort.
The plan is led by Sustainable Bio-Energy Limited and would be located in the townlands of Ballynamantan, Kinincha and Glenbrack.
In January of this year, a former application to develop a biogas plant in the town was withdrawn by Sustainable Bio-Energy Ltd.
A local campaign group had raised concerns regarding its location and its potential impact on the environment.
This new application involves the development of a biogas plant on a 10 hectare site located in the townlands of Ballynamantan, Kinincha and Glenbrack.
It would utilise anaerobic digestion technology to produce renewable energy and organic fertiliser.
A 10 year permission is being sought for the development and county planners are due to make a decision in January
