fertiliser cost security agricultural operators are protected against wild fluctuations in mineral fertiliser costs explore anaerobic digestion topics anaerobic digestion basics anaerobic digestion blog articles anaerobic digestion plant design anaerobic digestion guides and downloads is anaerobic digestion a type of composting anaerobic digestion is a biological process similar to composting but without air as in composting micro organisms break down organic matter into simpler smaller compounds and reduce its bulk or mass however unlike composting which overall always consumes energy ad can be used to create energy that is because it produces a gas known as biogas just over half of which is methane everyone that lives in a developed nation and has cooked anything on a kitchen stove using gas piped in from the street has used methane and knows how cleanly it burns and how wonderfully hot the flame is because natural gas is pure methane in addition to biogas the process also produces digestate a slurry or paste which comprises a solid fibrous residue and a liquid portion mind blowing ancient origins the process that takes place in a biogas digester is truly ancient fermentation for the production of alcohol was known to the ancient egyptians and is recorded as far back as 2 000 bc the methane producing stage of anaerobic digestion is performed by a type of microorganism known as archaea it s not a bacterium in fact it comes from a distinctly different branch of the phylogenetic tree of life from bacteria archaea are so old that they are thought to predate bacteria and bacteria evolved from them as the oldest known life form on the planet none of us would be here without them given that they are so abundant in nature and so successful in what they do why have they been ignored by modern technology until very recently digestate a renewable fertiliser in addition to renewable energy anaerobic digestion produces digestate a nutrient rich organic fertiliser containing nitrogen phosphorus and potassium digestate recycling plays an increasingly important role in sustainable agriculture by reducing dependence on synthetic fertilisers derived from fossil fuels uk ad sector is healthy and growing in 2026 global growth of anaerobic digestion the number of anaerobic digestion plants worldwide has increased rapidly in recent years as governments and industries seek renewable energy solutions and sustainable waste management systems anaerobic digestion is now widely used to treat food waste agricultural residues sewage sludge and industrial organic wastes while producing renewable biogas energy by the first quarter of 2025 the eu 27 states reached a milestone of 1 678 biomethane producing facilities while the number of plants in europe as a whole is now 21 000 in the eu biogas derived biomethane contributed 6 of the total natural gas consumption in 2024 the sector continues to show impressive resilience and growth with the eba reporting that 165 new plants began operations between the 2024 and 2025 data collections alone this surge is part of a broader trend that has seen the total number of european plants rise from 1 023 in 2021 to nearly 1 700 today as the continent moves aggressively toward the repowereu target of 35 bcm of biomethane by 2030 according to the iea net zero emissions by 2050 scenario biogas output is expected to triple in their 25 year forecast period to 2030 current projections suggest that annual global growth in biogas output remains robust with the sector maintaining strong momentum as countries accelerate renewable energy deployment to meet climate targets according to estimates from the anaerobic digestion and bioresources association adba as of march 2026 the uk has over 750 operational facilities continuing the upward trajectory from previous years this growth included additional biomethane to grid btg and combined heat and power chp plants coming online furthermore there were approximately 50 btg projects in various stages of planning or construction with significant cumulative biomethane capacity adba also states that approximately 36 million tonnes of organic material are digested annually by the entire uk industry this organic material would otherwise release greenhouse gases including extremely climate changing methane if it were left untreated in a landfill the ad sector produces an estimated 21 twh of biogas annually which is either upgraded to biomethane and put straight into the national gas grid or utilised to produce heat and electricity via a combined heat and power chp unit currently the industry reduces greenhouse gas emissions in the uk by 1 annually in the uk the ad and biogas industries currently employ an estimated 4 800 people the uk sector as a whole expanded by 5 last year 2025 which is close to the global expansion rate farm waste feedstocks including manure slurry crops and crop waste continue to power the majority of facilities with increasing focus on optimising feedstock mix for maximum biogas yield food waste remains the most common single feedstock with processing volumes continuing to grow through 2026 as local authorities and businesses implement the uk s simpler recycling initiative collect household kitchen waste weekly and are increasingly diverting organic waste from landfills while updating this section in march 2026 the middle east war seems certain to raise energy prices and add further to the rate of growth of the ad and biogas industry the anaerobic digestion process renaissance until the early 2000s there had been a long period of cheap fossil fuel sourced power while power was so cheap before the pandemic the anaerobic digestion process was largely ignored in the west china and india and some other nations realized its value especially to subsistence farmers and developed early versions many were the still popular buried fixed dome household and small community biogas digester systems which they invented ever larger numbers of these renewable energy plants are now being built and operated so that in 2024 literally millions of people are benefiting from the biogas renaissance in the western nations during the first half of the 20th century ad had been popular among the water boards and municipal corporations for the safe disposal of sewage sludge but almost all of those digesters had by then been replaced by incinerators energy was so cheap that even those running those incinerator plants failed to truly realize that they were using energy to destroy energy that was an expensive waste which is now being put right as globally large numbers of sewage sludge incinerators are being shut down and replaced with biogas plants the latest of these can be so efficient in making power that they can produce electricity to run the entire wastewater treatment works sewage works solely using the sludge from the works as their bio fuel these are just two examples of many of the way that the anaerobic digestion and biogas industry is now growing at the smallest community level and at huge wastewater treatment facilities the word is out now and even if fluctuating natural gas and oil prices reduce in the coming year expect to see more and more biogas plants wherever you go the new uk trend will be for new food waste ad facilities ahead of food waste

obtain permission to extend their operations only if they install an ad plant to reduce the odour of muck spreading digestion of manure substantially reduces muck spreading odours especially if ground injection of digestate is used to reduce risk of water pollution 1 high intensity livestock farms in high rainfall areas and nitrate sensitive zones may experience a particularly high risk of river pollution and prosecution from nitrate contaminated run off when heavy rain occurs soon after spreading manure plant and soil uptake of the nutrients from the digestate from a biogas plant can be more rapid and reduce watercourse pollution risks to reduce risk of water pollution 2 the quality of the seawater at blue flag bathing beaches was shown to be impaired after heavy summer rainstorm events

tourism 3 top ad plant add ons and upgrades a hydrolysis stage hard to digest feed materials can benefit greatly by including a hydrolysis stage in which the substrate is subjected to high temperature and pressure before digestion hydrolysis breaks up intact cells allowing the digestion micro organisms to carry out a much more complete digestion higher gas yields reduced retention times and greater plant throughput upgrade biogas to biomethane there is a lot of talk about creating added value for the raw biogas from anaerobic digesters by upgrading upgrading is the process of removing carbon dioxide and other impurities from biogas and compressing it it produces biomethane a highly sought after product it is sold as renewable cng compressed natural gas a substitute for liquefied natural gas as a vehicle fuel or injected into the regional natural gas grid distribution network improved biogas reactor mixing and avoidance of hard crust applies to wet ad processes only many early digesters benefit from improved reactor mixing which avoids dead zones within the digester tank some mixing systems can also break up any tendency for a crust to form on the reactor surface higher
