News & Updates from Fenland Bio-Energy Systems
What's happening in the world of bio-energy? From regulatory shifts to groundbreaking projects — we're tracking the stories that matter to farmers, landowners, and energy innovators across the UK. (And yes, we've got numbers to back it up.)
Latest Updates
The bio-energy sector moves fast — here's what we've been working on recently.
New Monitoring System Launched in Cambridgeshire
We've deployed our latest remote monitoring system at a 2.4MW anaerobic digestion plant near Ely — reducing downtime by 37% in the first three months. (The operators are sleeping better already.)

Supply Chain Expansion in East Anglia
Our biomass supply network now covers 1,247 farms across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire — delivering 98.3% on-time collection rates. (That's 3,800 tonnes of feedstock every week.)

Government Announces New AD Incentives
The Department for Energy Security has introduced revised tariffs for small-scale anaerobic digestion plants — making projects under 500kW more viable than ever. (We've already had 14 enquiries this month.)

Fenland Opens New Office in Bristol
To better serve our clients in the South West, we've opened a new regional office at 1010 Cambourne, Regus House. (Same great service, just closer to home for many of you.)

Industry Insights
The bigger picture — what's really happening in bio-energy?
Why are more farmers turning to anaerobic digestion?
It's simple economics. With feedstock prices stable and energy costs rising, AD plants are offering farmers a reliable income stream — typically £80-£120 per tonne of feedstock. (And that's before we even talk about the digestate benefits.)
What's holding back rural energy projects?
Three words: planning permission delays. The average small-scale AD plant now takes 18-24 months to get through the approval process — that's 40% longer than just two years ago. (We're working with local authorities to streamline this.)
Is biomass really sustainable?
When managed properly, absolutely. Our supply chain ensures all feedstock comes from within a 50-mile radius of each plant — reducing transport emissions by 62% compared to national averages. (And yes, we track every tonne.)
Project Announcements
From concept to commissioning — here's what we're building.
Lincolnshire AD Plant Breaks Ground
Construction has begun on our latest 1.2MW anaerobic digestion facility near Spalding. When complete, it will process 25,000 tonnes of agricultural waste annually — powering 2,000 homes. (And yes, we're hiring.)
Remote Monitoring Upgrade in Yorkshire
We've completed a £250,000 upgrade to the monitoring systems at our North Yorkshire plant. The new sensors provide real-time data on 17 different parameters — from methane concentration to engine efficiency. (The operators call it "AD on autopilot.")
New Supply Hub Opens in Norfolk
Our newest biomass supply hub in Thetford is now operational. It serves 187 farms across East Anglia — reducing transport distances by an average of 14 miles per collection. (That's 2,300 fewer lorry miles every week.)
