Both plants are accredited under the UK Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme and supplying biomethane to the gas grid, contributing to national renewable energy targets and strengthening Kanadevia Inova’s commitment to decarbonisation, circularity and supply security.
Kanadevia Inova, a global leader in solutions for the energy transition and circular economy, is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of the Wardley Biogas and Lower Drayton biogas plants in the UK.
This strategic acquisition strengthens Kanadevia Inova’s position in the country’s anaerobic digestion (AD) and renewable energy sectors, enhancing its capability to deliver clean, locally produced biomethane to the national gas grid.
It brings Kanadevia Inova’s biogas plant portfolio to 17 operating facilities, geographically well diversified in key target markets.
Nick Ross, Kanadevia Inova Capital’s CEO, commented: 'Building out Kanadevia Inova’s biogas capacities is central to our mission of working towards a future free of wasted waste. These fantastic new additions are part of our mandate to grow our portfolio and play a critical role in promoting sustainable agriculture and providing clean energy to thousands of homes and businesses throughout the country.'
The Wardley and Lower Drayton Biogas facilities are high quality operational, gas-to-grid anaerobic digestion plants, and both are accredited under the UK Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. The acquisition represents a significant step in Kanadevia Inova’s long-term strategy to invest in circular economy assets and low-carbon infrastructure.
Located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, the Wardley Biogas plant specialises in the treatment of food waste, playing a crucial role in diverting organic waste from landfill and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The facility has the capacity to process 80,000 tonnes of food waste annually, converting it into biomethane for injection into the gas grid, and producing a nutrient-rich digestate for use in agriculture.
Meanwhile, the Lower Drayton Biogas plant, situated in Staffordshire, focuses on the anaerobic digestion of agricultural residues, including manure and crop waste. Lower Drayton is a key contributor to sustainable farming practices in the region, supporting the decarbonisation of the agricultural sector through closed-loop resource management and renewable energy production.
Both facilities are connected to the UK gas grid and are already injecting biomethane, contributing to national renewable energy targets and energy security. The RHI registration of the plants ensures long-term support for their low-carbon heat output and provides revenue stability to underpin future development.
