At this Blog we see this is excellent news for the Anaerobic Digestion community, especially after recent views expressed here on this blog that the coalition government was lacking in resolve to fund the great opportunities available to the nation from a further funding push from the government, which would seem to be largely what is needed for the numbers of AD Plants to increase rapidly.
