Kanadevia Inova expands UK renewable gas portfolio with biogas acquisitions

Kanadevia Inova has strengthened its renewable energy footprint in the UK with the acquisition of the Wardley Biogas and Lower Drayton Biogas plants, both accredited under the UK Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme and actively supplying biomethane to the national gas grid.

The move expands Kanadevia Inova’s operating biogas portfolio to 17 facilities, reinforcing its commitment to decarbonisation, circularity and energy security while advancing national renewable energy goals.

“This acquisition builds on our mission to work towards a future free of wasted waste,” said Nick Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Kanadevia Inova Capital. “These fantastic new additions will help promote sustainable agriculture and provide clean, locally produced energy to thousands of homes and businesses across the country.”

The two plants represent high-quality, operational gas-to-grid anaerobic digestion (AD) assets. Their integration strengthens Kanadevia Inova’s presence in the UK’s growing biogas sector and supports its long-term strategy to invest in low-carbon and circular economy infrastructure.

Located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, the Wardley Biogas facility treats up to 80,000 tonnes of food waste annually, diverting it from landfill and converting it into renewable biomethane. The process also produces nutrient-rich digestate that can be used as a sustainable fertiliser in agriculture.

Meanwhile, the Lower Drayton Biogas plant in Staffordshire focuses on the digestion of agricultural residues such as manure and crop waste. The facility supports sustainable farming practices and contributes to agricultural decarbonisation through closed-loop resource management and renewable energy generation.

Both plants are connected to the UK gas grid and are already injecting biomethane, directly contributing to national renewable gas targets and enhancing supply resilience. The RHI accreditation ensures stable long-term revenue, underpinning continued investment and development in the sector.
