Anaerobic digester aims to create Yorkshire’s first circular market town

The project is focused on developing an anaerobic digester in the two towns to help break down biodegradable material. Having successfully secured £40,000 through the Rural Community Energy Fund, the community interest company carried out a feasibility study with two strong options identified. The first focused on transforming biogas to biomethane for grid injection or use as transport fuel. The second would host a combined heat and power engine, generating electricity for the national grid and supplying heat to the local community.
