“…Government policy is to deliver an increase
in energy from waste through AD.”
“We recognise that at farm-scale, some
energy crops may be required…and that such
crops can be grown as part of the normal
agricultural rotation. Furthermore, there is
land available which is not suitable for the
production of food crops but which may,
therefore, be used to supply energy-crop only
AD plants.”
“It is not our policy…to encourage energy
crops-based AD, particularly where these are
grown to the exclusion of food producing
crops.”
“...NFU vision for AD…1,000 farm-based anaerobic digestion plants by
2020, alongside 100 - 200 larger waste-linked facilities…”

Biogas Potential
• c. 2billion m3 of biogas per year could be captured, equivalent to 12TWh;
• Estimated c. 1,050 plants
