LPA Group has experienced a better-than-expected third quarter and a 'very strong' start to the final quarter of its financial year to September 30th 2012. As a result it said expectations for the year are likely to be significantly exceeded.

Clean energy projects group Camco received a grant from the US Treasury of around $6m in connection with the construction of its 4.5 MW anaerobic digester at a 15,000 head dairy farm located in Jerome, Idaho.
