Guidance: Collecting, storing and upgrading biogas from on-farm manure and slurry: RPS 259

Environment Agency

February 13
10:56 2024

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit when you:

  • collect and store biogas from on-farm manure and slurry lagoons and tanks
  • upgrade this biogas to biomethane

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in this RPS.

This regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
