In our three-part series, The Time is Now, we focus on the urgency around creating energy independence for AD plant operators and the communities they serve.

This series explores how forward-thinking operators are taking control of their own energy supply, stabilising their costs, and driving a new circular model of fuel production.

At Rushywood Farm, Neil Baker looked at that massive environmental challenge and saw a multi-million-pound commercial opportunity.

Bennamann has achieved a landmark moment at the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate this week, securing both the Engineering Innovation Award and the prestigious Champion White Rose Innovation Trophy – a double win that recognises not only breakthrough technology, but the people, partnerships, and perseverance behind it.

Bennamann is on a mission to power energy independence. Our event series, titled “Stop buying fuel, start making it,” has captured the imaginations of AD plant operators across the UK.

For decades, the “fuel station” has been synonymous with global oil giants. But across the British countryside, a quiet shift is underway.

The Renewable Energy Association (REA) has unveiled the full list of finalists for the 2026 British Renewable Energy Awards (BREAs), with Bennamann making the shortlist in the low carbon transport category.

We are delighted to announce that Bennamann has won the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) Burke Innovation Trophy 2026!

As the Anaerobic Digestion (AD) industry evolves, two broad approaches are incumbent: the “Circular Waste” model and the “Energy Crop” model.

For over a decade, the roadmap for Anaerobic Digestion (AD) was clear: produce biogas, generate electricity, and rely on the stability of government-backed incentives. But as time passes, that roadmap is reaching a dead end.
