ENER-G launches funded Anaerobic Digestion solution to tackle rising energy and effluent costs

Anaerobic digestion (AD) technology - that can combat rising water effluent and energy costs - is being made available to the processing industry at no capital cost.

Biogas utilisation specialist ENER-G has launched a complete outsourced anaerobic digestion service. This includes the design, installation and operation of anaerobic digestion renewable energy facilities.

Because ENER-G will finance the project, there is no upfront cost or financial risk to the customer. ENER-G recovers its investment by sharing savings with the customer over the contract period, with the customer receiving 20-50% of the annual savings.

ENER-G’s complete AD package is suitable for a variety of industrial processors, such as brewing, distilling, soft drinks, dairy, bakery and many other sectors. It is open to processing facilities of all sizes, but the minimum requirement to qualify for funding is a liquid effluent stream of at least 3,000 Kg of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) per day.

Stephen Kemp, Head of AD at ENER-G, said: “ Our outsourced build-own-operate model means that cash strapped companies can benefit without raiding their own capital or trying to raise finance themselves. We will design, install, operate and own the complete anaerobic digestion plant - shouldering all the financial risk and sharing operational savings with customers over an agreed contract term of 10, 15, 20 or 25 years. This provides businesses with a steady and attractive income stream.“
