[QUOTE="thesilentone, post: 8151712, member: 6194"] Or, we are using perfectly good land that could be used to grow feed-stock to produce energy, we need both food and energy, we can't survive without either of them. AD is the only flexible renewable that re-cycles all the nutrient AND produces base load energy. No other source of renewable energy comes anywhere close on efficiency. ...and for the umpteenth time: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/feed-tariffs-guidance-sustainability-criteria-and-feedstock-restrictions[/URL] As many know, Germany (and France) has 000's of AD Plants, and this debate is a non-event. In m3 per ton/£ of CH4/ha, nothing can compete with Maize, hence it's the crop of choice. However, we must do much more with waste, which should be legislated that it must go to AD. The AD plants should be designed and located where the gas can be upgraded and injected into the gas grid, and any surplus heat utilised on-site. It should also be regulated that all the by-product should be returned to whence it came - the land/soil on a pro-rata basis. [/QUOTE]
