Good afternoon,<br>
<br>
Please see the link below or contact me directly for further information.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is now a key technology for recycling biowastes in<br>
the UK, it produces large volumes of effluent ('digestate') that are applied<br>
to agricultural land. However digestate is a loss centre for AD businesses,<br>
so WRAP and Zero Waste Scotland are investigating the potential for novel<br>
technologies to add value to the whole digestion process, with an emphasis<br>
on the digestate. Aqua Enviro are undertaking this investigation on their<br>
behalves and have set up (in conjunction with iVeridis) a facility for<br>
interested parties to upload details of relevant technologies/research.<br>

<br>
The outputs from this investigation will inform future funding plans by both<br>
WRAP and Zero Waste Scotland for potential investment in the UK organic<br>
waste sector. Specifically WRAP and Zero Waste Scotland will fund multiple<br>
feasibility studies of those technologies which show potential. This step<br>
will act as a precursor to a larger technology hub which shall act as a<br>
funding and development point for bringing new technologies to market<br>
through full scale demonstration. The hub is expected to draw on a<br>
partnership approach with bodies including NERC, BBSRC, EPSRC and TSB.<br>
International funding and knowledge partners will also be invited.<br>
<br>
