Anaerobic Digestion

Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a process in which organic material is broken down by natural bacteria in an enclosed vessel, releasing a 'biogas'. This biogas can be used to generate renewable heat and electricity, for own use or export.

An additional potential attraction is siting a plant next to large energy consumers, including glasshouses, pack houses and dairies. We offer full project management including:
