Simplicity and Tranquillity

Simplicity and tranquillity are good for the mind and soul. Take time to look at the beauty around you.

 

The grass here is cut and taken to the 1.2MW Wothersome Anaerobic Digestion Plant.

 

This alternative energy technology uses maize, grass and whole-crop wheat silage, grown on the Estate’s home farm, to produce methane gas. The gas fuels a generator, which exports electricity to the National Grid. This provides enough green electricity for about 1,500 homes. The waste heat from the generator is being used to dry wood-chip for biomass boilers

 

This is taken from the path linking Kennels Lane to the wood and Milner Beck looking across to Ragdale, Wothersome, West Yorkshire. Behind was the sun and ahead a storm brewing.
