Bioenergy Guide Launch at the On-Farm Anaerobic Digestion Seminar at Walford College

The Bioenergy Guide has been officially launched at the On-Farm Anaerobic Digestion Seminar which was held at Walford College on Tuesday 5th August. The event was attended by 80 delegates from around the country.

Richard Hammerton, editor of the Bioenergy Guide, attended the seminar together with MEA's Kate Millbank, manager of the new RE:Think energy grant scheme to give a presentation on the financial incentives available to support the installation of bioenergy systems.

Bioenergy technologies have real potential in the UK to provide a commercially viable, secure and environmentally sound replacement for the imported fossil fules which at present we all rely on. They also offer a major new commercial opportunity for farmers to add energy production to their commercial operations.

The Bioenergy Guide is intended as an introduction for the general public to the two main technologies, biomass and anaerobic digestion, which are suitable for development in the UK. It contains key information about these technologies and looks at how they may be best applied at domestic, commercial and industrial scales.
