The Government has set a target of 10% of electricity coming from renewable sources by 2010 (The 2003 Energy White Paper), with an aspiration for this to double by 2020. The Waste Strategy published in May 2007 strongly supports using anaerobic digestion to treat food waste. Minister for Waste Joan Ruddock MP showed her support, describing the technology as “the way forward” (The Times Online, 19th August, 2008).
