Andigestion

What Andigestion does

Andigestion operates in the UK waste management and renewable energy sector, with the available detailed operational evidence describing an integrated circular-economy platform that converts food waste, crop residues, and garden waste into renewable energy (green gas and electricity) and agricultural by-products (bio-fertiliser and premium-grade compost). The underlying technology is anaerobic digestion — a biological process that breaks down organic matter in oxygen-free conditions to produce biogas and digestate — supplemented by composting operations and a portfolio of solar, wind, and hydro generation assets across England and Wales. The combined platform generates 330GWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power approximately 120,000 homes. The data references the entity's positioning as the largest producer of clean energy from food waste in the UK, with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications and founding-member status in the Green Gas Taskforce.

The business model combines multiple revenue streams: (i) usage-based sales of renewable energy fed into the grid; (ii) subscription-style, long-dated waste-recycling contracts with local authorities and businesses; and (iii) transactional sales of bio-fertiliser and compost to local farmers. The go-to-market is sales-led and B2B/B2G, engaging local councils (e.g., Derby City Council) for food waste collections, agricultural customers for offtake of soil-enrichment products, and food-and-beverage businesses for commercial waste disposal. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are routed through a direct contact channel. The firmographic record identifies the company as founded in 2004, headquartered in Holsworthy, UK, with 11–50 employees — a headcount range that is materially smaller than the operational footprint implied by the detailed data, which references integration with Severn Trent Green Power under parent Severn Trent Plc. (LSE: SVT). This mismatch between firmographic headcount and operational scale is a noted data gap.

Recent strategic activity is concentrated in capacity expansion and public-sector contract wins: commencement of construction on four new solar parks, go-live of food waste collections for Derby City Council, and ongoing industry recognition (ADBA Net Zero Award, Organics Recycling Business of the Year, Recycling Business of the Year). Marketing is primarily digital and content-led, centred on the corporate website, news updates, and an insights blog educating customers on anaerobic digestion. The company holds no disclosed patents, trademarks, or AI/ML capabilities; competitive differentiation rests on operational scale, regulatory credentials, and the integrated multi-output economics of the AD-plus-renewables model.

Core offering

Andigestion provides organic waste recycling and renewable energy generation services through anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities and composting sites across England and Wales. The company transforms food waste and crop residues into renewable energy in the form of green gas and electricity, together with bio-fertiliser used in agriculture, and produces premium grade compost products from green waste. It also manages a portfolio of solar farms, wind farms, and hydro turbines, generating 330GWh of renewable energy per year.

Product overview

Severn Trent Green Power operates a platform of organic waste recycling and renewable energy solutions. The portfolio comprises three interconnected services: Food Waste Recycling (anaerobic digestion turning food waste into green gas, electricity, and bio-fertiliser), Garden Waste Composting (producing premium compost for agriculture), and Renewables Asset Management (managing solar, wind, and hydro assets). Combined, these operations generate 330GWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power approximately 120,000 homes.
