Anaerobic digestion sector growing 40% per year

The anaerobic digestion (AD) sector has grown steadily in the last 12 months. Government figures put the current total of AD plants outside the water sector at 110 – an increase of 32 on the 78 working plants which were up and running last June.

This confirms that money for building new AD capacity is available despite the industry’s short track record.

The number of AD plants also passed the symbolic 100 milestone at the start of the year.
