==Number of UK Sites==

At the end of 2018 National Statistics reported the following key statistics for the number of AD sites generating electricity (extract from table 6F)<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/renewable-sources-of-energy-chapter-6-digest-of-united-kingdom-energy-statistics-dukes:DUKES 2019 Chapter 6:Renewable Sources of Energy]</ref>.

The table below is reproduced from table 4.3 in the Renewable Obligation Annual Report 2017-18 by [[Ofgem]] and shows the consignments reported by AD against the sustainability criteria required by the [[Biomass Sustainability]] reporting<ref>[https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/system/files/docs/2019/03/ro_annual_report_2017-18_final.pdf Renewable Obligation Annual Report 2017-18]</ref> :

The difference betwen the National Statistics data and the Ofgem data above, i.e. 221 sites, can be inferred to be those AD plants that are producing biomethane rather than electricity (assuming their datasets align).
