摘要

Anaerobic digestion (AD) principally uses existing waste feedstocks, sometimes in conjunction with purpose-grown crops, helping to reduce emissions from waste, heat, electricity, transport and agriculture. So AD is a key part of a future low-carbon, circular economy that turns wastes into renewable resources. AD has a potentially important role to play in the production of low-carbon heat; according to the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), biomethane - produced when biogas is upgraded - could meet 30 per cent of the UK's domestic gas demand and abate 50m tonnes of CO_2-equivalent over the next 25 years, as well as helping to provide energy and food security. In the past 10 years, the AD industry has grown from a capacity of 170 megawatts electrical-equivalent (MWe-e) in 2008, to 899MWe-e today. There are now 648 AD plants across the country, producing renewable energy and natural fertiliser. AD growth is currently most notable in biomethane, where around 30 new facilities are due to connect to the gas grid within the next couple of years, on the back of tariffs under the government's Renewable Heat Incentive. These new facilities should add around 233m cubic metres of capacity - enough to power almost 200,000 homes each year. Production of biomethane as a transport fuel is also being facilitated by the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation. In addition, the number of AD facilities recycling inedible food waste is likely to grow over the next decade, as more local authorities in England introduce separate food-waste collections in the wake of legislation proposed in the resources and waste strategy. ADBA estimates that the amount of food waste diverted from landfill as a result could lead to 80 new food-waste AD facilities. This would increase industry capacity by around 187MWe-e (the equivalent of Fellside Power Station), reducing UK GHG emissions by 1.5m tonnes of CO_2-equivalent - or 2.4 per cent.
