All Waste Technologies Demonstrator Projects Now Signed
All 9 of the Governments New Technologies Demonstrator Programme jobs have actually now been signed. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has validated them to commence.“If we can get as many of the demonstrators running by 2009 then we have actually attained our objective of getting them in place before the 2010 targets;”

Thanks for an interesting flashback to the Government’s New Technologies Demonstrator Programme. Looking back, it was this that showed how really quite simple biogas facilities could produce biogas from the organic fraction of MSW, and started a lot of people thinking. Hey. This could work?! Now look at how many large AD plants there are working after MRFs in MBT facilities.
One of the demonstrator projects included the construction of a novel vertical aerobic composting system which was in a building to stop odours escaping so could be built in towns near houses, and had a very small footprint area, because it was vertical. Your article is good so far, but where can I find information on that composting system now?
It was a very progressive move for the UK government to spend money in the demonstrator programme to help a struggling technological improvement take place. This is a good model for other governments to copy, when technology needs to be developed for the national and global good. Has it been done since in other countries?
Hello there! Do you know if any of the original plants are still working? If they have shut-down did the funding achieve a good result?
