[QUOTE="thesilentone, post: 8094881, member: 6194"] Interesting debate, all driven by supply and demand at the moment. AD likes dry matter, and some products, be it crop or waste produce more methane per m3/ton. The competition is two fold, one is for the raw material (input) one is for the product (output) and which gives the best return. At the moment, AD has several advantages, however we can't eat energy. The ideal solution is for the feed supplier to use their own waste to produce energy for the mill. A detailed life cycle analysis needs to carried on both, and a fair comparison made, as the argument is not as simple a food v fuel, which you have highlighted. At the moment, the highest bidder wins. [/QUOTE]
