Food Waste Converted to Renewable Energy Through Anaerobic Digestion in UK and Australia
Between 2009 and 2017, facilities in Britain and Australia used anaerobic digestion to convert tens of thousands of tonnes of food and farm waste into biogas, generating renewable electricity for thousands of homes. These plants, located in Northamptonshire, Staffordshire, Gloucestershire, and Sydney, also produced biofertiliser or soil improvers. The process reduces landfill waste and greenhouse gas emissions by breaking down organic material without oxygen, contributing to renewable energy production and circular economy efforts.
