Case studies

◌ Case study

We have assisted Bio Capital Ltd. who are owners of several biogas facilities in Scotland with updates to their DSEAR and HAC procedures for several of their sites.

Following studies on other AD (anaerobic digestion) plants such as Viridor, Glasgow, we expanded our expertise with the Bio Capital sites, and have gone on to carry out further DSEAR assessments for other biogas production sites in Scotland.

◌ Case study

One of our clients in Scotland are a large biogas and biomethane manufacturer, turning distillery and other by products into renewable energy. The portfolio includes biogas sites across Scotland, aligned with some of the biggest names in distilling. Our work with this client has included compliance support in areas such as HAZID studies and ALARP demonstrations.
