A �24�million plan to turn whisky waste into heat and power has been given the go-ahead.
Councillors gave their unanimous backing today to the bid by a consortium of Scotch whisky companies for a biomass energy plant at Rothes.
The plant at North Street will see distillery by-products - wet draff and pot ale - processed to generate electricity and as a heat source.
Some electricity would be used in production of biomass fuels and the rest exported to the national grid, with the heat in the form of steam being used in the production process, ending reliance on fossil fuels.�
