July 15, 2013 - Helius Energy's $95 million biomass plant that turns whisky by-products into energy and heat has started commercial operations.

The site at Rothes in the
Scottish whisky heartland of Speyside uses by-products from nearby distilleries
to produce renewable energy and a liquid animal feed product known as Pot Ale
Syrup.

It's estimated the plant
will produce enough electricity to power 9,000 homes and save around 46,000
tonnes of CO2 per year.
