THE WINNERS ARE....Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – Farm-based anaerobic digestersArnside and Silverdale’s idea is to work with the local farming and dairy community to develop a network of farm-based anaerobic digesters that could convert farm and food waste to produce biogas and fertilizer. The biogas would be collected with adapted milk tankers to reduce vehicle movements at farms and then be processed at dairy business sites. The methane gas would be sold to the National Grid. Rather than releasing the remaining carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the greenhouse gas could be combined with calcium from waste milk to create limestone (calcium carbonate) to fill in old lime stone quarries.
