Guidance for Local Authorities
Central government has set a clear direction to support the growth of AD, with their 2011 Waste Review stating that ‘of the main options for the treatment of food waste, anaerobic digestion offers the greatest environmental benefit’. This followed the Coalition Agreement in 2010, which committed to supporting a ‘huge increase in energy from waste through anaerobic digestion’.
