From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

h\/t Dave Ward<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Guardian:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health and Safety Executive also issued several notices related to worker safety and explosive substances at JV Energen<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A green energy company set up by King Charles was investigated for numerous health and safety breaches after the unauthorised leak of more than 1,000 tonnes of global-heating gases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Methane, CO2<\/sub> and traces of the toxic gas hydrogen sulphide were released after a gas-holder at the plant split open in 2020. The incident, which lasted for 38 days, was described as \u201csignificant\u201d by the Environment Agency.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plant in Dorset, JV Energen, was also investigated for breaches involving \u201cflammable and toxic\u201d substances. It is majority-owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, a hereditary estate that raises revenues for whoever is the male heir to the throne.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duchy said in a statement: \u201cThe negative impact of the emissions associated with the leak, while regrettable, were completely immaterial compared with the positive impact of the provision of renewable energy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plant is at Rainbarrow Farm, near Dorchester, on land belonging to the Duchy of Cornwall. Now owned by Prince William by right of his title of Duke of Cornwall, the <\/em>duchy estate had for decades been<\/em> overseen by his father<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JV Energen was opened in 2012 and hailed by Charles as a breakthrough in green energy production. It is a joint venture between four farmers and the duchy. The plant turns crops into gas and electricity, which are used in the local area, as well as to create fertilisers for local farms<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly the Guardian also make this comment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As a producer of green energy, the plant has been eligible for significant government subsidies. These are worth more than \u00a34m a year to JV Energen. Since its launch in 2012, the company has received more than \u00a328m in state subsidies, according to data analysed by the Guardian.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
