Environmental Transformation Fund - Anaerobic Digestion

The anaerobic digestion component of the Environmental Transformation Fund (ETF) was announced by Defra Ministers on 16th July. It is a demonstration programme for cutting edge anaerobic digestion (AD) on a commercial scale in England. The ETF will fund between 3 and 6 projects that meet the criteria of the programme which will be developed from the main themes which are:

  • maximising the cost effective production of biogas;
  • maximising the environmental benefits from the use of anaerobic digestion and its products;
  • maximising the potential of anaerobic digestion to reduce the carbon footprint of the food supply chain;
  • maximising the opportunity for the injection of biomethane into the gas grid; and
  • maximising the potential of anaerobic digestion to reduce the carbon footprint of water treatment infrastructure.

Please check the FAQs (available on the registration page) as these will be updated regularly.  The tender for projects will be launched in September.
