The Process

Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a natural process that biologically breaks down organic material to generate large amounts of biogas which is a combination of methane and carbon dioxide.

Farm Energy

The gas produced by the bacteria is then used to fuel two generators which produce electrical and heat energy for use on the adjacent dairy farm. Power to Grid Any excess electrical energy produced by the generators is exported onto the national grid for consumption by local homes and businesses.

Digestate

Once the organic material has been processed through the anaerobic digester and has had all the biogas potential released you are left with a nutrient rich fertiliser which can be used on the land as fertiliser. This fertiliser can be used as a direct replacement to chemical fertilisers produced using fossil fuels and therefore brings many environmental benefits.

Power To Grid

The biogas produced in the anaerobic digester is used to fuel electrical generators and the electricity is fed into the national grid to supply businesses and homes with renewable energy.

Anaerobic Digester

An anaerobic digester is often referred to as a ‘concrete cow’ as they mirror what occurs in nature within a cows stomach. The organic material is heated to around 40°C to provide an environment suitable for the bacteria that breakdown the organic material and turn it into biogas.

Food Waste

Waste from food processors, hotels, cafes, supermarkets, wholesalers and various other sources is diverted from landfill and utilised to produce renewable energy

Energised Growth

The benefits that digestate can bring to crop growth is widely recognised around the world. The nutrient rich digestate contain nitrogen, phosphorous, phosphate and other trace elements which are essential for soil health and crop growth.

Agricultural Waste

Waste from the farm such as cattle slurry, farmyard manure and waste silage are all utilised to produce renewable energy
