Adapt Biogas is a UK-based company producing green, sustainable energy for heating local homes and businesses. The company claims to have pioneered the use of agricultural waste on a large scale in the UK energy sector via anaerobic digestion (AD). Adapt Biogas operates AD Plants in Murrow, Cambridgeshire, and Shepton Mallet.
Adapt Biogas built the Murrow AD Plant in 2013 to lower greenhouse gas emissions as part of a larger sustainable carbon-managed approach to anaerobic digestion. The site initially generated electricity through two on-site combined heat and power units, and it is now injecting gas directly into the national grid's high-pressure transmission line. The maximum upgrader capacity at the site is 2,000 cubic meters per hour, injected directly into the grid. It is fed cattle muck and leftover farm feeds primarily, with a small number of energy crops thrown in for good measure. The site provides approximately 115,000 tons annually and produces digestate as a by-product.
Evercreech AD uses waste feedstocks and will include three pasteurization units, three CHP units, four primary digesters, and two after-storage tanks. The plant will be able to inject 1,000 cubic meters per hour of biomethane into the gas grid, enough to power more than 8,000 homes, and it will be versatile enough to handle liquid, solid, semi-solid, packaged, and de-packaged waste streams. In January 2023 , Adapt Biogas added a gas-to-grid anaerobic digestion site to its Evercreech Renewable Energy plant.
