AMA Research are pleased
to announce the publication of a brand new report: "Advanced
Biological Treatment Market - UK 2010-14" – covering in-vessel
composting and solid waste anaerobic digestion (AD).
Advanced Biological
Treatment (ABT), and in particular AD, are key in the development of
the UK’s waste (and renewable energy) infrastructure as government and
the waste industry strive to meet EU targets for the reduction in
landfilling organic waste and increasing the levels of energy fuelled
from renewable sources, in particular food waste.
To meet the 2013 and 2002
Landfill Directive (& the 2020 renewable energy) targets around 100
large commercial and 1,000 on-farm AD are likely to be needed plus an
unspecified number of IVC plants. Key drivers for AD will be government
incentives for e.g. ‘double ROCs’, Feed-in-Tariffs, the Quality
Protocol /BS PAS 100 and the upcoming Renewable Heat Incentive.
