Biogen purchases a range of agricultural crops for use within its network of seven agricultural anaerobic digestion plants across the UK. These facilities process crops such as maize, rye, barley and grass, converting them into renewable energy and providing a sustainable use for agricultural feedstocks that supports long‑term energy generation.
The company works directly with farmers nationwide, offering flexible supply arrangements designed to suit different farming operations. These include both longer‑term contracts and one‑off opportunities, giving growers a dependable route to market for energy crops such as maize, rye, barley and grass. This flexibility enables farmers to plan with confidence while responding to seasonal and operational requirements.
Biogen already collaborates with an established network of agricultural partners and continues to welcome new suppliers interested in supplying crops into its agricultural AD plants. The business works closely with growers to ensure all crops meet agreed quality and specification standards, with clear communication and straightforward logistics helping to keep the process simple and efficient.
By supplying crops to Biogen’s agricultural AD plants, farmers contribute directly to the production of renewable electricity and low‑carbon gas.
At the same time, they benefit from a stable and commercially viable offtake solution that supports farm diversification and long‑term resilience. These partnerships deliver practical value for growers while supporting the UK’s transition to cleaner energy.
Supporting UK farmers is central to Biogen’s feedstock strategy. By offering flexible, transparent crop supply agreements, we create strong, long‑term partnerships that benefit both growers and our renewable energy network. Farmers gain reliable routes to market, while we secure sustainable feedstock that helps power low‑carbon energy generation across the country
