UK Store to be Powered by Food Waste
CANNOCK, UK—A Sainsbury’s store in West Midlands county will be the first retail outlet in the UK to come off the national grid and be powered entirely by food waste in a project announced this week. The store already sends all its food waste to the UK’s largest anaerobic digestion plant. The facility turns food waste into bio-methane gas, which is then used to generate electricity, primarily for small-scale projects. However, this week, a 1.5 km (0.93 mile) cable has been installed, linking the plant to the nearby store. This allows the store to receive electricity directly from the plant.
