A proposal has been submitted to build a facility that would turn fruit waste into renewable energy at the Del Monte site in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England. If approved, the anaerobic digestion plant would generate biomethane for the national gas grid and capture carbon dioxide for use in the food and drink industry. The scheme would use around 28,000 tonnes of fruit residue from the factory…
