PAS 110:2014 Specification for whole digestate, seperated liquor and seperated fibre derived from from the [[Anaerobic Digestion|anaerobic digestion]] of source-segregated biodegradable materials. PAS110 was developed by [[WRAP]] to help create a market for the use of [[Digestate|anaerobic digestate]] as a renewable fertiliser<ref>[https://wrap.org.uk/resources/guide/bsi-pas-110-producing-quality-anaerobic-digestate/ WRAP]</ref>. It came into effect on 31 July 2014; published under licence from the [[British Standards Institution]] ([[BSI]]).

The purpose of [[PAS110]] was to remove a major barrier to the development of [[AD]] by encouraging markets for [[Digestate|digestates]]. It is an industry specification against which producers can check that the [[digestates|digestates]] are of consistent quality and fit for purpose. [PAS110]] sets out the minimum quality required for whole [[Digestate|digestate]], seperated liquor and seperated fibre that might be used as a fertiliser or soil improver/conditioner. Meeting its quality and other criteria enables the producer to demonstrate compliance with PAS.

[[AD]] is an important technology for the local recovery of source seperated [[Bio-waste]], the [[Biogas]] they produce can be converted into energy for the use throughout the [[AD]] system itself, for local use, for supply as electricity to the national grid or for processing into [[Biofuel]] for vehicles.
