“Anaerobic digestion (AD) fits perfectly into existing farm businesses. By generating renewable energy and biofertiliser from existing farm wastes (such as manures, slurries, discards, outgrades and residues) and/or break & cover crops, AD enables farmers to diversify their revenue streams and reduce input costs. Biofertiliser – known as digestate – can be used in place of expensive chemical-based alternatives, saving money. WRAP estimates that the nutrient value of biofertiliser is worth up to £120 per hectare, in addition to other associated benefits including enhanced soil quality, increased crop yields, odour reduction, carbon savings and a greater availability of nutrients.”
