About Grissan:

We are a renewable energy business, established to commercialise innovative Anaerobic Digestion (AD) technologies which have been developed to process organic wastes, residues and energy crops to create biogas. This biogas can then be used to generate low carbon electricity, displace natural gas or other fossil fuels in both heating and transport and aide the decarbonisation of agriculture through bio-fertiliser and compost products.
