With rising energy bills and stricter regulations on the storage of muck and slurry, together with the introduction of the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) and Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), Anaerobic Digestion technology is attracting interest from a number of parties as a way to diversify income and deal with existing waste streams.
Anaerobic Digestion, unlike some other renewable technologies, produces both electricity and heat bringing the following benefits:
-
Fits in well with existing farm activities, providing by-products (liquid and solid digestate) which can be used on-farm or sold as a nutrient rich fertiliser
-
FIT payments for every unit of renewable electricity generated providing an attractive, long term (20 year) income stream
-
RHI payments per kWh of heat generated providing an attractive, long term (20 year) income stream
-
Protect against rising electricity bills
-
Added value to existing waste streams
-
The production of renewable energy will offset and reduce your carbon footprint, increasing green credentials for future contracts and marketing.
