Adnams Bio Energy Limited today announces the completion of the construction phase of a groundbreaking anaerobic digestion (AD) plant, which will be the first in the UK to use brewery and local food waste to produce green gas for injection into the national gas grid as well as providing gas for use as a vehicle fuel.

In partnership with British Gas and the National Grid, the facility will start injecting green gas into the gas grid later this summer. It will generate up to 4.8 million kilowatt-hours per year – enough to heat 235 family homes for a year or run an average family car for 4 million miles. In the future the facility will produce enough green gas to power the Adnams brewery and run its fleet of lorries, while still leaving up to 60 per cent of the output for injection into the National Grid.
