UK Evergreen Gas Ltd a new British AD provider

Evergreen Gas Ltd, will be presenting a new smaller design of anaerobic digestion (AD) technology at the Energy Now Expo on February 15 &16, to be held at The Three Counties Agricultural Society, The Showground, Malvern, Worcestershire. The new design which is a radical departure from the conventional type of AD plants, opens up diversification opportunities for farms and rural communities wishing to benefit from AD.

Anaerobic digestion is a well-established process which has been recently adopted by over 60 farms and rural businesses in the UK. Whilst long-term returns on investment have been favourable for large farms and food producers in the UK, until now there has been no technology focusing solely on the small-scale end of the market.

£10m anaerobic digestion fund launched

Wiltshire-based company Malaby Biogas has become the first recipient of a loan from a UK£10 million (US$15.331 million), anaerobic digestion fund launched in July last year by Defra and administered by WRAP. The one-off UK£800,000 (US$1,226,440.838), loan will be added to other funding secured by Malaby Biogas, including equity investment and support from Clydesdale Bank, to construct and commission a new anaerobic digestion plant on the site of a redundant 12-acre smallholding.

Anaerobic Digestion study looks at reliability

A recent study report from the Soil Association on Anaerobic Digestion (AD) has said that the value of the energy generated from Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is the most important revenue stream for the viability of the technology. The comparative data regarding energy output makes it clear that the energy value of manure-only systems, and therefore the commercial value, is very limited. Manure tends to have a biogas potential which is only 1/10th of an energy crop. Read more ...
