Friday, 05 February 2021 Mark Schofield’s Trinity Organics has secured a £14 million investment from Netherlands-based green energy investment firm Perpetual Next through its subsidiary Primco.

The facility, which is expected to be up and running by the summer, will operate around the clock to digest 36,000 tonnes of organic waste each year and convert it into green gas to supply the National Grid.
The plant will produce enough biomethane to provide 41.5 million kilowatt hours of gas a year, which is sufficient to power 3,500 average-sized four-bedroom detached houses.
