Anaerobic Digestion

Anaerobic digestion is a naturally-occurring biological process carried out by a mixture of microbes breaking down agricultural materials to use as an energy source in an air-tight tank. The ‘key’ microbes are methanogenic bacteria which produce biogas from the intermediate products. Our anaerobic digestion facilities will then refine the biogas to extract biomethane and green CO2.

The biomethane we produce is then used as eco-friendly fuel for HGVs or transported and injected into the grid via our virtual pipeline, to be used for heating thousands of homes nationwide each year. Learn more about anaerobic digestion.
