In this episode, hosts Ben Eagle and Will Evans explore the role of on-farm anaerobic digestion (AD) in the UK dairy sector with guests Gary Hague, UK Sustainability and Development Manager for Biolectric, and Kite’s Sustainability Lead, Helen Dent. The discussion provides an overview of AD technology, its role in managing slurry and manure more sustainably, and its potential to reduce the environmental footprint of dairy farming. Helen and Gary share insights on adoption rates, farmer perceptions, financial incentives, and whether AD can help processors meet carbon reduction targets. They also explore the differences between large-scale and small-scale AD systems, and the viability of operating plants solely on slurry without the need for additional feedstock.Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been
