Ken McGrath is the Managing Director and Co-Founder of Ashleigh Environmental. He presents on the opportunity for anaerobic digestion to process the large amounts of organic waste produced globally each year. Ashleigh has developed a modular microwave treatment system called BIOWAVE that can increase biogas production from anaerobic digestion by 20-50% compared to small-scale digestion alone. BIOWAVE has undergone research, development and pilot testing. Ashleigh Environmental is now seeking strategic partners and a €2 million investment to expand pilot sites, enhance the technology, and grow marketing and sales.
