Engie has submitted plans to develop an agricultural anaerobic digestion (AD) facility in Sherburn-in-Elmet in the UK following a consultation with the local community and stakeholders. The facility – which will sit alongside the existing Low Farm AD facility and new woodland planting – will take agricultural feedstocks and wastes from local farms and turn it into renewable gas via AD. As well as creating green gas, reducing reliance on imported natural gas, the site will work in partnership with local farmers to give them a regular source of income whilst reducing their carbon footprint.
It also supports day to day farming activities by providing digestate, a byproduct of the AD process and a natural fertiliser that replaces artificial and expensive alternatives.
