The University College has expanded its commitment to sustainable energy with a £3million-plus renewable power system. The Anaerobic Digester plant, constructed in 2011, started generating heat and power at the end of April 2011.
Renewable electricity is produced from food and farm waste and provides a highly effective waste management system. The waste is digested in the AD unit and recycled into a liquid fertiliser and compost, which can be used for the University College's farm and grounds operations, reducing reliance on manufactured fertilisers.
In November 2011 it won Best Renewable Energy Electricity Facility in the Renewable Energy Infrastructure Awards and again in November 2011 it won Outstanding Contribution to Sustainable Development at The Times Higher Education Awards.
The project brings Harper Adams University College’s farm to fork approach full circle. Teaching and research covers every stage of food production and consumption, and now the recycling of food waste to create renewable energy and benefit farming operations.
