Biogas from Fish Waste – VIBES Award for Waste Salmon AD Plant
Producing biogas from fish waste might not seem like a big deal to mainlanders, but it truly is a big deal on an island with a lot of salmon farms. The alternative of placing this waste in a landfill would go against all Scottish, UK and EU policy at a time when climate change and […]
