Having received both planning permission and an environmental permit to construct an Anaerobic Digestion plant at our Headquarters at the Eco Park, near Bournemouth, in 2015, we are finally in a position to start construction this year (2025).

The three large digestors, are constantly being fed with fresh local food waste, whilst spent material (digestate) is pumped out through a fine channel screen before the pasteurisation process, ensuring full environmental integrity.

In contrast to the Piddlehinton AD facility, which runs CHP Engines with the biogas, this facility will upgrade the biogas to produce biomethane which is specified to be fed either directly to the gas network, or through a dedicated filling station to fuel our fleet of HGV’s.

By converting 20 HGV from fossil diesel to renewable biogas from waste, we are saving 5,000 tonnes of carbon being emitted per year!*

*Based on 20 trucks travelling 100,000 miles per year using 1 litre of diesel per mile.
