  1. On-Site Industrial Anaerobic DigestionNextgen 2012 October 2012

  2. AD evolving into 3 core sectors: Municipal: landfill diverted diverse feedstocks Farm: slurry & crops lower cost technology Industrial: bio-degradable waste on-site heat & power Drivers for industrial AD: Escalating energy costs Treatment capacity limits Effluent discharge consents Pressure on disposal costs Revenue generation potential EVOLVING MARKETPLACE

  3. Why Focus on Large Scale AD? Land fill diversion targets Waste industry practice Commercial interests Outdated policy framework Regulators & Consultants Opportunities for Smaller Plants Reduced risk & capex Other financial models Quicker potential payback Technology development On-site AD solutions Community Engagement Scotland - banning food waste to landfill in 2014

  4. Smaller scale technology Limited project risk On-site energy use Reduced emissions Eliminate transport Range of feedstock's Project payback based on: Lower disposal costs On-site energy savings AD is revenue generative Incentive payments Carbon reduction ON-SITE INDUSTRAL DIGESTION

  5. Incentives & Carbon Benefits AEROBIC TREATMENT High Methane Emissions HIGH STRENGTHProduction Residues and Co-products LOW STRENGTH Divert fromSewer Discharge ANAEROBIC DIGESTION PROCESS CO2 BIOGAS DIGESTATE NUTRIENTSCarbon Reduction CO2 GAS TO GRID GAS TO CHP POWER SAVING Carbon Reduction CO2 CO2 HEAT SAVING Carbon Reduction HEAT SAVING Carbon Reduction

  8. Anaerobic Treatment Plant Location: Fawdon, Newcastle-upon-TyneActivity: Confectionary manufacture Build dates: June – December 2012Completion: Early 2013 Key Features: 1550m3digester - solids dissolution Module based design Commissioning Dec 2012 CONFECTIONARY 8

  9. Anaerobic Treatment Location: Speyside, ScotlandActivity: Distillery & Dark Grains Build Dates: Oct 2011 - Sep 2012Handover: November 2012 Key Features: 2700m3 on site digester 490 kWe from CHP unit Commissioning Oct 2012 Grey water discharge to Spey DISTILLERY

  10. Biofuels & Distilleries Distillery Co-products Liquid co-products Pot Ale / Spent Lees Decentralised energy Challenges for Bio-fuels Carbon Footprint Energy consumption High-energy residues Digestion Benefits Significant biogas potential Substitute for fossil fuels On-site energy solutions Wider environment benefits

  11. Potential for modular on-site AD. Small scale prod’n plant (SSPP) Containerised trials unit Treats up to 2m3/day 9m3 reactor & thickener Commercial Opportunities Full process control Suited to asset finance Internal lab facilities Smaller brewery, dairy, distillery and other industrial sites Opportunity for range of SME sites and also for Exports DEVELOPING SMALLER AD UNITS

  12. * Trials included both floatation + membrane thickening

  13. Small Scale AD Project Support from WRAP - DIAD : • Brewery Co-products • Containerised AD plant • Innovative membrane unit • Watercourse discharge • Supply biogas to boiler Range of Opportunities • Cost effective solution • Plug and play solution • Off-site manufacture • Opportunities for export AD designed for SMEs

  14. Farmhouse Cheese Makers The challenge of whey disposal • Decline in demand from pig sector • Energy Costs on the increase • Diffuse pollution concerns • Costs of off site disposal • Customer perception Energy from Waste • Limited feedstock • On-site energy • Carbon reduction • Revenue source • Pollution control

  15. Sector Development Technology accessibility More than landfill diversion Scale - risk & reward Excessive regulation Wider UK Benefits Indigenous technology Decentralised energy Job creation & exports Communities & localism Future Challenges Smaller scale solutions Carbon based incentives Energy use efficiency Decentralised solutions DEVELOPING THE SECTOR

  16. Innovation & Systems Development
