    Biogas plants are complex and even the best designed and well run sites can be subject to biomethane leakage. Fugitive emissions pose a risk to staff and the wider community, pollute the environment and represent lost revenue for plant owners.

    Implementing regular LDAR surveys is industry best practice – and for most AD plants, it forms an integral part of their Environmental Permit.
