Biogen UK Ltd is a leading UK designer, builder, owner and operator of anaerobic digestion plants based in Bedfordshire. It is responsible for the construction of 22 plants to date and currently operates eight food waste anaerobic digestion plants in England, Scotland and Wales.

History

Biogen's anaerobic digestion business was established in 2005 with investment from Bedfordia Group. The company's Twinwoods anaerobic digestion (AD) plant, at Milton Ernest in Bedfordshire was completed in 2006.^[1] to recycle food waste along with animal slurry from Bedfordia Farms. In 2008 Biogen acquired technology and engineering company Greenfinch Ltd.^[2] Greenfinch was set up in 1993, initially constructing AD plants for the waste water industry and for farmers as a form of managing their livestock waste. In 2012 Biogen secured £24m of investment from construction, property and services company Kier Group,^[3] making them joint venture partners alongside Bedfordia Group. Since 2006 Biogen's main focus has been on providing a sustainable food waste treatment service for local authorities, retailers, pubs, restaurants, hotels, offices and food manufacturers. The company employs 100 people across the UK and has its head office in Milton Ernest, Bedfordshire.

In April 2017 the company was bought for an undisclosed sum by Ancala Bioenergy Ltd, an infrastructure investment vehicle managed by Ancala Partners LLP, to provide an established platform for Ancala to expand into the waste-to-energy sector.^[4]

Operations

Biogen's AD plants recycle 250,000 tonnes of food waste each year and can generate 11MW of green electricity for the national grid.^[5] The anaerobic digestion process also produces is a liquid rich in nitrogen, potash, phosphate and other trace elements that can be stored on site until spreading time and returned to the land as a nutrient rich biofertiliser to grow more crops, completing a closed loop system.
