Helping your business achieve compliance, act sustainably & save money!
We believe that a sustainable business is a better business, so we inform and support businesses, organisations and communities around the environmental issues caused by traditional methods of waste disposal.
From collection to conversion, our end-to-end process recycles food waste and other organic materials into clean energy products such as heat, electricity, transport fuel and biofertilizer in a safe, secure and environmentally friendly way at our Emerald Biogas plant (the North East’s first purpose built anaerobic digestion facility).
Nothing is wasted, using biotechnology through a process of anaerobic digestion, we create clean, green renewable energy and biofuels. Even the heat our plant generates is used by the local community.
...to conversion.
Our work with the private and public sectors means we have unrivalled expertise in treating a broad range of food waste and organic materials. Our ability to efficiently process both packaged or unpackaged materials and effluents make us the number one choice for our customers. Most importantly we are diverting your waste from traditional methods of disposal that are harmful to the environment to create valuable resources including enough clean green energy to power 19,000 a homes for an entire year.
Anaerobic Digestion...
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a natural biological process that uses micro-organisms to break down organic matter to produce valuable renewable resources such as biofertiliser and power.
At Emerald Biogas, we currently process up to 115,000 tonnes of food waste and organic based material to produce gas and electricity which is supplied directly to the national grid and a PAS110 approved bio-fertiliser. We are conscious that the environmental benefit of supplying our biofertiliser to farmers can be eroded by transportation.
So we have committed to supplying our product exclusively to the local farming community close to our facility.
Did you know?
When used for heat, biomethane generated from food and organic waste could produce GHG savings of up to
92%
compared to natural gas.
We convert
115,000
tonnes of food waste and organic based materials every year.
