• United Kingdom to play home to first biowaste energy plant using brewery waste

    The United Kingdom is all set to make space for a one of a kind plant using brewery waste and local food waste, opening its doors to biowaste energy. The plant, costing £2.75-million, will generate gas that can be used as a liquid fuel. Known as the Adnams Bio Energy anaerobic digestion plant, construction plans were released a little while ago. Working in partnership with National Grid, Adnams will operate the plant that is expected to generate up to 4.8 million kilowatt-hours of energy annually, enough energy to heat up 235 homes for a year. On an average, a UK home uses 56 kilowatt-hours of gas per day, energy that could be generated out of the waste left behind from the brewing of 600 pints of beer.


    While the people of UK drink as much as 28 million pints of beer daily, the waste accumulated from production could result in the generation of enough biomethane to heat 47,000 homes. Finally beer has more to it than just being a refreshing drink that makes you mumble out nonsense.
