Maximising the potential of anaerobic digestion to reduce the carbon footprint of water treatment infrastructure.

WRAP, with support from the Carbon Trust, is delivering the Anaerobic Digestion Demonstration Programme, designed to help the UK deliver an increase in the generation of renewable energy, a reduction in the waste sent to landfill and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

There are a number of recent piece of legislation to drive the UK away from their reliance on landfills and look for more sustainable way of dealing with waste.

The Waste Framework Directive
The EU directive has been fundamental in designing national policies and plans that move the UK away from its dependence on landfill and promote other recycling options including AD.

The Landfill Directive
Enforces the diversion of biodegradable Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) from landfill; with the UK targeted to achieve a reduction to 35% of its 1995 landfill levels by 2020.

The Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme (LATS)
Local Authorities that do not meet their targets to divert biodegradable MSW from landfill will be fined for every tonne by which they exceed their allowance.

Renewables Obligation
Places an obligation on electricity suppliers to source a proportion of their energy from renewable resources. AD combined with CHP technology provides energy production that can be used in the ROCs scheme.
