Yelspa Limited

Yelspa/Apsley Farms is a family-run farm based in Hampshire utilising the latest technologies to produce low carbon products. In 2012 the family took the decision to jump in and build an Anaerobic digestion plant to turn arable crops into electricity, by breaking down plant material obtained from our own and neighbouring farms. By 2014 they had realised that they could turn the biogas being made into biomethane, and with a suitable pipeline within their fields they would be able to feed southern England with (renewable natural gas) this equates to 8,500 houses of gas all year round. In 2016 the business decided that capturing the co2 being released to the air would make good commercial sense, this co2 was captured from the arable crops as they grew in the first place. So far the business has produced over tons of food grade liquid co2 into the market. This carbon dioxide by-product is sustainable, high-quality and certified food-grade, suitable for food and beverage industries. We operate our own fleet of tankers to deliver bulk orders for a range of businesses including breweries and bakeries. We also have CO2 testing facilities onsite for CO2 certification of analysis for ours and other co2 facilities needing 24 hour certification. Apsley Farms uses modern farming equipment and techniques to maximise efficiency whilst out in the field. Digestate from the back-end of the plant helps to fertilise the following years crop. With the different arable contracts available from a growing a standing crop through to Farm Business Tenancy Apsley Farms are able helping many farmers and land owners with there different needs. Our carbon footprint of around one-fifth of ‘natural gas’, the biomethane production provides sustainable fuel to help meet the UK’s energy needs and climate targets. Apsley Farms produce organically certified gardening products By-products of our green energy production including Mulch and a Natural Plant Food available from our online shop
