      Defra’s “Shared Goals” has set a target of 100
      commercial AD plants (as well as 1000 on-farm
      digesters) by 2020.
      BiogenGreenfinch is focussing its strategy on
      “Build, Own, Operate” of commercial AD plants.
      We are seeking project partners to include sites,
      farmland and funding.
