Orthios biomass plant: Power, heat, fish and food pledge

Work is set to start on a £1bn combined food and power plant on Anglesey, which will create more than 1,700 jobs.

The large biomass plant and eco park will be built near Holyhead after the company behind it, Orthios, bought the former Anglesey Aluminium site.

The plant will process waste wood to create power, with heat generated used to farm prawns and grow vegetables.

Lewis LeVasseur and Sean McCormick from the Orthios project told BBC Wales' economic correspondent Sarah Dickins about the scale of their ambitions for the scheme.
