Leeds City Region DriversRatingComments Commercial customers Large concentration of food waste customers including regional distribution centres. Local authority customers Large concentration of households. Supportive authorities. Energy customers Good grid access. Many suitable sized electricity and gas users. Many fleets (vehicle fuel potential). Biofertiliser customers Plenty of suitable farmland nearby, but unlikely to be co-located.
