I suspect that the natural gas bought and used in big supply contracts will be bought months if not years in advance. Is dried sugar beet pulp still available or has that died a death as it was always dried by burning natural gas in the past.

You can still get beet pulp shreds.

so how come gas prices have jumped as much as they have
there’s a big gas terminal near that has a pipeline to England
or is it like most things in this country been sold off, and then we get screwed buying the product back off a foreign company

Gas storage is the big UK issue.
Our capacity has been allowed to shrivel in the drive for more renewable sources

Blimey ... I knew it was low but not this bad

Apparently we only have 9 terra watt hours of storage (2% of annual demand) compared to 168 two hrs for Italy and 151 for Germany

How the UK’s low gas storage capacity leaves it vulnerable

Britain has storage capacity for just 2 per cent of annual gas demand, compared with over 25 per cent in European competitors.

Filled up at a Asda fuel station before the 'fuel shortage' @ 132.7 filled up the week after the panic buying at same price and it's still that price now, others around are upto 10p dearer so there must be alot of profiteering

Of course they are! Supply and demand. Only when demand drops (so all the silly eejits that panicked buy) need a reality pill! Don’t panic and supply will be sufficient

My tenancy agreement expressly states that I can’t apply sewage sludge here. Given the heavy metals and micro plastics that come with it, maybe the landlord isn’t so daft in not wanting his asset contaminated?

What is digestate like...?

Sure I have seen that some units are using out of date foodstuffs and the like, and not so good at cleaning up the plastics beforehand?

Too be fair I bought some old stock. Last price I had was 460€ tonne but that was 10 days ago. Pay on uplift.

It’s a global issue. Conspiracy theory not required in this instance.

I thought there was plenty of gas in the North Sea - it was only the oil that was drying up.
