EDL Energy acquires GWE Biogas and its Sandhill Biogas Plant

In the UK, EDL Energy has acquired GWE Biogas and its Sandhill Biogas Plant in East Yorkshire, one of the United Kingdom’s most advanced anaerobic digestion (AD) operators. Located near Driffield in East Yorkshire, the Sandhill Biogas Plant has been operating since 2011 and services local and national customers. The facility produces up to 750 cubic metres of biomethane per hour which is injected into pipelines operated by EDL Energy’s sister company, Northern Gas Networks. It also features a 4.5MW combined heat and power (CHP) plant, generating electricity and heat onsite. This energy supports local industry, with the excess supplied to the national electricity grid. In addition, the facility uses advanced technology to capture approximately 5,000 metric tons of high-purity, biogenic CO₂ each year.
