It is an industry specification against which producers can check that the [[Digestate|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. | [[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. | ||
