Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the breakdown of organic material by micro-organisms in the absence of oxygen. The AD process produces biogas, biomethane, and a biofertiliser, rich in nutrients.
The AD market in the UK is growing rapidly, and we believe that AD is set to play a key role in the UK’s renewable energy mix and impact the UK’s Net Zero targets.
Our AD plants treat food waste and agricultural feedstock.
AD provides the ideal circular solution to the issue of food waste. The UK produces over 10 million tonnes of food waste annually, only 20% of which is recycled, the remaining goes to landfill and recovery, which involves incineration.
Formed in 2018, Bio Capital is the UK’s largest producer of renewable electricity and gas (biomethane) using food waste.
The company owns and operates a growing portfolio of anaerobic digestion (AD) plants across the UK and invests in both operational and greenfield assets, including gas-to-grid and electricity generation facilities, low carbon vehicle fuel, CO2 capture and sustainable biofertiliser.
The AD sector is playing a crucial role in UK’s energy transition, but its full potential has not begun to be realised.
Bio Capital is a true circular business and proud to be making a significant contribution to the green economy, providing green jobs, reducing emissions and protecting our environment.
Bio Capital is 100% owned by Equitix, a leading international investor, developer and fund manager in infrastructure valued at over $14bn.
A company’s values provide a foundation for its identity and behaviour. They guide decision-making, shape culture, direct strategy and provide a clear sense of purpose.
At Bio Capital our values are integral to how we work together every single day, and also how we work together with all of our stakeholders.
Together with our customers, partners and suppliers, we are committed to creating a positive impact and contributing to meaningful and sustainable change. We always aim to go above and beyond, and are proud to be advancing the UK’s energy transition. In doing so, we are making a real difference for the environment and the communities in which we live and work.
As we grow as a business and people, it is crucial we do so within a supportive, appreciative and safe working environment. We embrace our customers, partners and suppliers with these same values and together put ourselves in the best position to respond to challenges, always learn and to pull together.
Only by working together, while caring for and trusting each other, can we achieve our vision and those of our customers, partners and suppliers. The strongest teams foster diverse personalities, talents and skills, and we believe in using our experience to help others achieve their best.
