<p>Defra and DESNZ officials continue to work closely to coordinate anaerobic digestion
(AD) policy, working with ministers where required.</p><p> </p><p>The Green Gas Support
Scheme (GGSS) launched in 2021, provides tariff-support for biomethane produced via
AD and injected into the gas grid. Under the GGSS, at least 50% of all biomethane
(by energy content) must be produced using waste or residue feedstocks. In line with
scheme guidance, AD site operators should ensure that the waste hierarchy has been
applied and alternative markets have been considered before using any waste feedstocks
for AD. DEFRA will continue to work closely with other government departments to deliver
the best environmental policy outcomes which align with the food surplus and waste
hierarchy.</p>
