WHAT IS ANAEROBIC DIGESTION?

Anaerobic Digestion, or AD, is a method of creating renewable green energy in the form of biogas. The gas can be created from crops specifically grown for this purpose.

Ironstone Energy will only use energy crops to create biogas, not food waste or manures. The biogas will then be upgraded into biomethane and injected into the UK’s national gas network.

The anaerobic digestion takes place when biodegradable material is broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. During this process, these organic materials are converted to biogas.
