Following a 10-year analysis of the scale of methane leakage at almost 1,000 AD plants across the UK and Europe, Tim Elsome, General Manager of biogas specialists FM BioEnergy, outlines why now is the ideal time to tackle unidentified biogas leaks – and how to protect your plant, profits and the planet. The risks of doing nothing.
