Transforming food waste into renewable energy

Our proposal
SUEZ recycling and recovery UK is proposing to submit a planning application to build an anaerobic digestion facility at its site on Holloway Lane, near Sipson, in West London. There is a national need to reduce food waste and to recover renewable energy and nutrients from food that is thrown away.
If approved, this proposed anaerobic digestion facility will do just that. It would supply biomethane into the gas network, replacing fossil gas for the equivalent of 8,200 homes each year, helping to decarbonise the gas network by recycling up to 100,000 tonnes of food waste.
The facility would turn food waste into a renewable and reliable supply of biomethane gas, as well as digestate – a compost-like soil improver.
