Three new board members have joined the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA).
The six-year-old trade body, founded by former Lib Dem energy spokesperson Lord Rupert Redesdale, says the moves willsupport and enhance the trade body’s representation and knowledge base in the burgeoning anaerobic digestion market.
The new appointments are Julian O’Neill, who is CEO of Biogen, William Heller, CEO of Tamar Energy, and Dr David Greenfield, advisor to the Local Authority Waste Network Coordinators (WNC), and MD of SOENECS (Social, Environmental and Economic Solutions).
ADBA CEO, Charlotte Morton, said: “As the trade association for the AD and bioresources industry, a key aspect of our work is to represent all sectors of our industry and to demonstrate what the anaerobic digestion industry can deliver for the UK to attract appropriate government support.
'To help us understand the issues affecting each sector and adapt our strategy to best support the growth of the industry, we take care to appoint a board which is as representative of the industry and our membership as possible.
“Together, Willie, Julian and David will support our ambitions to grow the food waste sector and to encourage local authorities to support source segregated collections. Through substantially increasing the amount of food waste available for industry, not only would segregated collections increase recycling, but treating the UK’s inedible food waste through AD could produce 9.3TWh per year by 2025 – enough green gas to heat half of the homes in London.”
In addition to these appointees, ADBA will also shortly be making new appointments for representatives in the farming and water sectors.
ADBA is the UK's only trade body specifically representing the AD market, and has around 350 members.
