Theia Market Signal Identification - AI AssistedLincolnshire County Council approved a biogas plant near Spalding that will process over 100,000 tonnes of food waste per year through anaerobic digestion. The facility, developed by Naylors Farms, is expected to generate energy, liquid carbon dioxide, and fertilizer, claiming to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 25,000 tonnes annually.
