Created to encourage collaborative solutions to waste management and energy challenges, the OHLEH project has developed into a unique initiative, which is the first of its kind in the world. The project involves mixing fish waste transferred from SSC's processing plant on the Isle of Lewis with local household and garden waste.
The mixture is used in an anaerobic digester to produce biogas. The biogas fuels a Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP). The excess electricity from the CHP supplies an electrolyzer installed by the PEC. The PEC's system produces green hydrogen and green oxygen for use at SSC's hatchery in Lewis, as well as providing fuel for CnES's hydrogen-powered bin lorry.
