Over the next 5-10 years theres going to be waste digestion plants cropping up all over the UK digesting everything from supermarket food waste to sewage sludge churning out biogas which will be cleaned up and piped into the gas network or used for vehicles. Its already been well establised in europe for at least a decade. a particular town will have all its farm and sewage waste digested centrally and the resulting gas used to power all the municipal vehicles or buses. You can get a gas tap fitted to the side of your house to fill up your car before you set off. Its the future i tell thee!
