Anaerobic Digestion deployment in the United Kingdom

The Anaerobic Digestion (AD) industry in the UK has experienced rapid growth in

recent years and this is set to continue for years to come. There are now over 130

operational AD plants in the UK outside of the sewage treatment sector, with more

than 340 projects currently under development. Understanding this deployment

landscape is vital for investors, developers and policymakers alike.

NNFCC has now published the definitive report on Anaerobic Digestion Deployment

in the UK. The report provides a comprehensive regional breakdown of sector

development in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the 10 regions of England,

providing detailed information on feedstock requirements, installed capacity and

output type (combined heat & power or biomethane-to grid) for each and every

project.

While NNFCC considers that the data in this report is sound, it can only be

considered as accurate as the resources utilised for its provision and all parties must

rely on their own skill and judgement when making use of it.

1 Introduction

This report outlines current deployment in the UK anaerobic digestion (AD) industry,

giving a comprehensive regional breakdown of the sector in Scotland, Wales,

Northern Ireland and 10 regions of England (the nine NUTS1 regions and the Isle of

Wight).

The report provides detailed information on installed capacity, feedstock

requirements and estimated cropping area for all anaerobic digestion plants

contained with the NNFCC anaerobic digestion deployment database, which tracks

projects from the first public announcement through to operation.

The database is updated on a monthly basis and compiled using a number of data

sources including: press announcements; regular discussions with technology

providers, suppliers, investors and developers; the Department of Energy and

Climate Change (DECC) Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Planning

Portals and Council planning registers; Ofgem statistics; the Official Information

Portal on AD, Biogas Map; and WRAP’s Waste Market Intelligence Team. Combined,

these data sources provide an accurate insight into the various types, scales and

status of AD projects in the UK.

Transparency is a critical factor when evaluating data robustness. This is especially

important when using such data to validate strategic decision-making processes. By

pulling information from primary resources and providing a plant-by-plant

breakdown, this report provides detailed and trustworthy data with complete

transparency throughout. We expect that this report will be of great value to

developers, investors and policymakers alike in understanding the current state-of-

play of the UK AD industry.

The scope of this report extends to both the agricultural and non-sewage waste AD

sectors and includes both combined heat & power and biomethane-to-grid

projects. However, sewage waste treatment AD plants are not included.
