Defra have announced a new research competition for anaerobic digestion. The replica watches uk project "Implementation of anaerobic digestion in England and Wales: balancing optimal outputs with minimal environmental impacts", aims to address the pressing issues relating to AD uptake. The key objectives of the project are:
- To assess the economic and environmental performance of different AD co-digestion mixes, according to location, feedstock availability and use of digestate
- To quantify the net GHG impacts of these AD mixes to include products generated, feedstock production and application to land
- To quantify the implications of the range of AD systems identified on water/air quality, biodiversity and impacts through land use change
- To identify the best practice use for the digestates generated by the co-digestions mixes identified above and resulting infrastructure requirements
