Increase profits and reduce loses with an AD plant
from Shaw Renewables and BioConstruct.
The British government have a
longstanding ambition to see
1,000 on-farm AD plants by 2020,
reducing greenhouse gas emissions
by digesting their slurries and
agricultural residues.
To encourage the uptake of AD the UK
government provide financial incentives
to the producers and users of renewable
energy - The Feed In Tariffs (FIT) and the
Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), creating
an extra income for your business.
Biogas plants harness the power of some
of the earth’s most readily available and
sustainable commodities – crops, byproducts and waste. Methane is extracted
from organic matter. This gas, which
would ordinarily be released in to the
atmosphere, adding to the green house
gases, is now used to create electricity and
heating.

At the end of the process there is no waste,
the product from which the methane was
extracted (now called digestate) can be
used as super fertiliser, meaning nothing
goes to waste.

“Biogas is one of the most versatile
energy solutions the UK has at it’s
disposal. AD is a perfect example
of how renewables can fit into, and
improve already existing processes.”

with Bioconstruct of Germany, who have
installed over 240 plants across Europe and
manage 18 of their own AD plants, to bring
