Industrial Services

Industrial facilities can be any scale, dependent on the scale of the processing operation and feedstock availability. Regulation and incentives for small-scale facilities differ from those for larger scale facilities. Details of operational facilities can be viewed on the Biogas Map and further details are provided as Case Studies.

The Waste Strategy for England 2007 encourages businesses to consider using anaerobic digestion. It sets out the important contribution which anaerobic digestion can make to achieving our waste management goals. Anaerobic digestion is an important technology for producing energy from waste. At the same time, it recovers valuable nutrients for recycling back to land.

Energy generated on-site can reduce costs and improve the sustainability and overall profitability of a business. In addition resultant reduced waste disposal costs increase these benefits.

Digestate can be supplied to surrounding land owners and can potentially offer an additional revenue stream, further increasing business profitability. Digestate processing should be considered, to minimise storage and distribution costs and to increase the marketability of the product to landowners.
