UK biogas projects get funding
The UK government has announced that five new biogas projects will receive funding through its £10 million (€11.5 million) Anaerobic Digestion Demonstration Programme.
There will be five projects that look set to benefit from the funds including plants in Dorset, East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Manchester and in Shropshire.
The funding comes as a result of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) decision that more needed to be done to push the technology into the mainstream.
Under the AD Demonstration Programme, the five projects will be expected to show how to maximise the cost and environmental benefits of the technology, as well as the potential for anaerobic digestion to reduce the carbon footprints of the food and water industries.
The programme will also see the demonstration of biogas being cleaned up for use as a transport fuel, and to be injected into the national gas pipelines.
The five plants are now expected to be built between now and the end of March 2011. Funding for the AD programme comes from the government's Environmental Transformation Fund.
