Food manufacturing and anaerobic digestion
InSource Energy works in partnership with food and drinks manufacturers to reduce two key operating costs: waste disposal and energy purchase.
Food processing sites where substantial volumes of unavoidable wastes and by-products occur now have the potential for a dedicated anaerobic digestion plant and to create energy – and money – from what would otherwise be waste.
Even smaller sites can sustain such an approach as by-products which are currently sold (e.g. for animal feeds) may be more valuable if converted to energy, or sites can import wastes from other food factories nearby, or supplementary fuels such as grass silage or maize, to make a project viable.
We understand the complex set of challenges in the cost-effective and sustainable disposal of waste and treatment of by-products. An InSource Energy bespoke project offers the food industry the following benefits:
- No feasibility, capital or operating costs (investment options are available if you wish)
- Fixed, discounted waste disposal costs and security of outlet
- Reduced utility costs
- Dramatic reductions in vehicle movements onsite
- Enhanced corporate reputation and ‘green’ credentials
- No distraction from core business activity
- Lower carbon emissions.
InSource Energy offers a confidential, free initial feasibility study on a no commitment basis, to understand how we can generate substantial savings for your business.
