The biogas was then burned to heat greenhouses for growing tomatoes. This was in the UK.

Capital up front cost will be the regrettable reason communities are slow to build similar projects while money continues to be wasted in using old landfill solutions and burning what bad stuff to create electricity. I hope and believe this kind of infrastruture will create new solutions for communities. As well as construction jobs throughout a cleaner province in a very near future.
