~~'''~~Anaerobic Digestion~~'''~~ (AD) is a process where biodegradable material is broken down by micro-organisms in the absence of oxygen in an enclosed vessel. The process produces a [[Biogas]] which can be used for generating renewable power and a nutrient-rich solid/liquor known as [[digestate]] which can be used as fertiliser and compost. Anaerobic Digestion uses biodegradable waste materials from [[Agricultural Waste]] such as manure and slurry, [[Food Waste]] and [[Sewage Sludge]]. Where the process utilises [[Animal By-product Material]], it must comply with the [[Animal By-Products (Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2011]] requirements.
