Galway Bay fm newsroom - A plan to build a biogas plant in Gort has been withdrawn.
The project led by Sustainable Bio-Energy Ltd involved a 7.8 hectare site at Gort, Kinincha and Glenbrack.
The controversial biogas plant would have utilised anaerobic digestion technology to produce renewable energy and organic fertiliser from non-hazardous biodegradable waste and other feedstocks.
However a local campaign group had raised concerns regarding its location and its potential impact on the environment, with over 140 submissions from local residents.
