The fact that AD can now power over a million homes is a great milestone to achieve. Electricity generation from AD, meanwhile, is receiving next to no government support, with the Feed-In Tariff for >500 kW plants down to just over 2p/kWh.ĥ0-80 new AD plants were commissioned in 2016 but this number is projected to fall to 19-64 in 2017 as a result of policy uncertainty.Ĭommenting on the report, ADBA Chief Executive Charlotte Morton said: Operational performance in the industry continues to improve, with load factors rising to 73% in 2016, up from 69% the previous year.ĪD is currently reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 1% and employing more than 3,500 people in the UK, but with the right policy support has the potential to reduce emissions by 4% and employ 35,000 people.ĭelays in the passing of legislation for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), which is set to restore tariff levels to 5.35 p/kWh, has meant that there are currently at least 13 AD plants on hold. The report shows that AD in the UK now has a capacity of 730 MWe-e, an increase of 18% over this time last year, with total energy generation of 10.7 TWh per year. The Anaerobic Digestion & Bioresources Association’s (ADBA’s) July 2017 Market Report is being launched this morning (Wednesday 5th July) at UK AD & Biogas and World Biogas Expo 2017, a global biogas tradeshow taking place 5-6 July at the NEC in Birmingham. A new report shows that anaerobic digestion (AD) plants across the UK now have enough capacity to power over a million homes.
