Evergreen gas

Evergreen Gas is a British engineering company based right here in Shropshire established to develop modular small-scale renewable energy anaerobic digestion plants for farms and communities. This is in response both to government policy and to market demand which appears keen to see smaller AD plants developed. The Evergreen Gas design is radical and will look unlike the traditional AD plants which we are used to seeing.

 
They have developed a range of small scale AD plants based on electricity outputs ranging from just 25kW to 250kW.  

They are building a pilot-prototype, known as BMAD (Barrett’s Mill Anaerobic Digester), in South Shropshire to test the concept and to carry out research into optimising performance. This pilot construction should be complete by the end of 2012.

BMAD will be used not only as a pilot AD plant but also for demonstrating the feasibility of small-scale biogas upgrade for vehicle use. To this end Evergreen Gas has already purchased the first of its VW Caddy Ecofuel CNG vans to use as the Company Vehicle.

You can follow progress on BMAD and other projects via their on-line monthly report
