Noah Law MP has called for urgent policy reforms to accelerate biogas expansion, arguing that regulatory barriers are stifling the sector’s potential to support Britain’s energy transition.

Law made the remarks at the Eden Project, a leading centre for sustainability and biodiversity, following a visit to Fraddon Biogas, a plant which converts organic waste into renewable gas and biofertiliser.
