Where should you go for reliable biogas information in 2026? This newly expanded guide brings together trusted UK sources for anaerobic digestion, regulation, plant data and technical guidance, while also answering the most-searched questions about how biogas is produced, its uses, examples and advantages.
UK Biogas Funding: How RO, FITs, RHI and GGSS Shaped Anaerobic Digestion
UK biogas funding has played a major part in shaping the anaerobic digestion industry we see today. Over the past two decades, government support has encouraged renewable electricity from biogas, rewarded useful renewable heat and, more recently, shifted strongly towards producing biomethane for injection into the gas grid. That history matters because government incentives did […]
Anaerobic Digestion Plants UK — A Guide to Notable Biogas Plants
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the UK’s fastest-growing renewable energy sectors. As of early 2026, the UK operates 756 active AD plants, collectively processing around 36 million tonnes of organic waste annually — producing enough biomethane to supply electricity to millions of homes and delivering nutrient-rich digestate as a sustainable biofertiliser for farmland. Plants fall into two […]

In this article, we make the point that Anaerobic Digestion UK Professionals need to shout louder about the benefits of anaerobic digestion, and their vision of a global biogas boom. This article is inspired by an editorial by Charlotte Morton, ADBA’s Chief Executive, and she is quite right to point out that: The benefits of […]
Anaerobic Digestion in the UK: Regulation, Biomethane, Food Waste and Future Development
In the UK, since 2011, there have been two main policies, pushing forward anaerobic digestion UK implementation.
Anaerobic Digestion UK policy to collect and digest food waste, and to raise renewable energy production to achieve a target output.
UK On-farm Anaerobic Digestion Plant Drivers and Benefits
A UK on-farm anaerobic digestion (AD) plant, also known as a biodigester, is simply an airtight sealed and heated container on the farm that breaks down organic waste materials to generate biogas, wastewater, and solid remains. Around the world, these facilities most commonly have the form of covered silos, troughs, or basins and can be […]
Anaerobic Digestion Produces Renewable Energy Now & UK Needs to Use It!
Put simply, anaerobic digestion produces renewable energy now and the UK badly needs to use it or else fail to meet their promised UK Net Zero target. That means get on now and waste no more time at implementing government policies to develop more biogas plants. In the Press Release that follows the UK trade […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Ukraine: The New Saudi of Sustainable Biogas Production?
The accelerating adoption of anaerobic digestion in Ukraine has led to speculation that the country may before long become the new “World’s Biggest Producer” of sustainable biogas and biomethane. Ukraine might export up to eight billion cubic metres of biomethane to Europe each year, thanks to a new law that recognises the country’s enormous potential. […]
