Killough - The Heart of the Golden Vale
Turning local resources into secure low carbon energy and rural regeneration for Killough.
Proposed Killough Development
Roadstone is planning a modern biogas plant that uses local farm resources to produce renewable energy, reduce emissions across construction, and return value to local farming. The project supports cleaner energy, healthier soils, and long-term community resilience.
Community, natural beauty and working farmland define this place
Natural beauty preserved
Protecting Natural Resources now an in the future
Building a Circular Economy
Killough AD Plant will turn approved organic materials into renewable gas and nutrient‑rich fertiliser for a greener future.
Generating Energy for a Resilient Ireland
Powering sustainable building
Anaerobic Digestion Plants
Real benefits, real results, real transparency
Supporting sustainable food production
AD plants convert organic materials into low-carbon energy and nutrients for productive farmland
Returning nutrients to the land
Digestate provides nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to maintain soil health and reduce imported fertiliser reliance
Proven technology with full transparency
Modern AD plants with proper design and continuous monitoring deliver reliable renewable energy and strict environmental standards
Managing environmental risks through best practice
Sealed systems, odour control and water protection deliver net environmental benefits as well as clean energy
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions people ask most, answered straight
Will the plant affect water?
No. The design uses sealed systems and controlled permitted discharges. Full reports are on the Issues page.
How do I contact Roadstone about the project?
Use the contact form on the Contact page to ask questions, share concerns, or request more information. Roadstone, Utopia and Climaticus will respond to all inquiries.
What about the odour?
The process is fully enclosed with odour control and continuous monitoring. See the Issues page for details.
Will air quality be affected?
The plant uses enclosed buildings and a two-stage odour abatement system (biofiltration and carbon adsorption). Continuous air quality monitoring ensures emissions stay within permitted limits.
What traffic changes happen?
Deliveries are scheduled and routes are signed. The Traffic Management Plan has the full schedule.
What about the aquifer?
Design protects it. See the full technical reports on the Issues page.
What is digestate?
Digestate is the nutrient-rich material left over after anaerobic digestion breaks down organic feedstocks like cattle manure, grass silage and chicken litter. It contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that plants need.
What monitoring happens?
Continuous monitoring with public reporting. See the MRV & Traceability page for details. We want to ensure full transperancy
Who owns the plant?
Roadstone owns this plant, working with Utopia (developer) and Climaticus (community point of contact).
How many jobs?
Construction and operational roles. See Project Details for numbers
