Taking the lead, naturally

yellow flowers

Here at Local Generation, we're getting ready to transform food waste into renewable energy and practical green products, using a natural process called anaerobic digestion.

Construction of our first anaerobic digestion plant will go ahead in 2010. It will be operational by the end of the year, the first of several such plants forming a sustainable energy network across the country.

In building this network, we're taking a practical lead in reducing harmful emissions and offering waste producers an alternative to rising landfill costs.

By 2020 anaerobic digestion will be making a significant and measurable contribution to our climate change and wider environmental objectives.
