Alternative gas – what are the facts?

ADBA PRESS RELEASE

Shale gas received coverage in the Telegraph and the FT last week, following the release of an IoD report on Britain’s Shale Gas Potential. We thought you should see the comparison between renewable biogas from AD and unconventional shale gas from fracking…

Charlotte Morton, Chief Executive, ADBA:

The government and industry should fully embrace biogas, a constantly generated, renewable gas, and one of the few renewables that could be scaled up and rolled out in time to meet our 2020 climate change targets.

 

Going forward the UK will have to take a portfolio approach to energy supply in order to provide security. There is no one technology that can deliver all our energy needs, but renewable gas has significant potential and brings benefits above those that natural and shale gas can deliver. It needs to be the UK’s priority.

For further details on our industry’s potential have a look at the CentreForum report on the anaerobic digestion Hit the Gas.
