GWE Biogas, based in East Yorkshire, operates an advanced Anaerobic Digestion facility converting food waste into renewable green energy. Since 2008, the business has been a leader in sustainable waste processing and circular economy solutions.
​
In 2025, GWE Biogas was acquired by EDL Energy, a global sustainable energy company headquartered in Brisbane, Australia. EDL Energy operates more than 90 energy projects worldwide, delivering over 1,400MW of clean, reliable energy. The acquisition strengthens EDL Energy's UK renewable portfolio and supports continued investment in biogas and biomethane technologies.
GWE Biogas, now part of EDL (Energy Developments Pty Ltd), operates a market-leading Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facility in East Yorkshire. The plant transforms food waste into renewable green energy and high-quality biofertiliser, helping to drive the UK’s circular economy and reduce carbon emissions.
Since its establishment in 2008, GWE Biogas has built strong partnerships with many of the UK’s best-known food manufacturers, providing sustainable waste management and renewable energy solutions.
In 2025, EDL Australia — a global leader in sustainable energy — acquired GWE Biogas, further strengthening its UK renewable energy portfolio and expanding its reach across Europe. The partnership brings additional investment, innovation, and the opportunity for their team to play a key role in EDL Energy's mission to deliver world-leading sustainable energy solutions.
