Introduction 

WELcoME to 

uk AD & BiogAs 2012! 

The largest dedicated anaerobic digestion (AD) and biogas expo 

and conference ever to take place in the UK! 

Building an AD plant is by no means easy, but the rate of new AD plants coming online 

is increasing with companies from a range of sectors entering the market – a clear sign 

that the predicted growth in AD is actually happening. Many big household names have 

now realised that AD is an excellent means of lowering costs, reducing emissions and 

generating additional revenue for their business, bringing it to the forefront of treatment 

options for organic arisings. 

UK AD & Biogas 2012 is the place to witness this growth first-hand, offering more exhibitors – with 

equipment live on the show floor including a biogas tractor and biomethane upgrading unit – more 

visitors and more feature areas than ever before. Continually improving, we have a fantastic number 

of new features, including our AD Professional Clinics area and the first ever AD industry Awards 

celebrating innovation, outstanding achievements and best practice across the AD industry. 

Alongside the show, the Conference ‘AD: your Missing link’ has an outstanding line-up of speakers 

discussing how AD can benefit local authorities, and the food and drink and farming industries. 

showcasing why AD is the answer to achieving maximum waste and resource management, and 

sustainable intensification of farming and food production, the two dedicated conference days ‘getting 

Value from your Food Waste’ and ‘The Business Case for on-Farm AD’ will provide delegates with 

everything they need to successfully integrate AD into their business. And of course we have the 

ever-popular seminar areas featuring over 22 sessions throughout the event. With so much to see these 

will be two of the most productive days of the year for the AD industry. 

However the growth in the industry and in this years’ show takes place against a backdrop of tough 

financial conditions. The government is under enormous pressure to reduce the deficit, forcing DECC 

and others to reduce spending and demonstrate value for money. More widely, the economy as a whole 

has been held back by the difficulty of accessing finance – and the AD market is no exception. Certainly 

the government could do more to recognise the potential for green economic growth that sectors like AD 

could deliver with the right level of subsidy, policy and regulatory support. 

Despite this, we are moving in the right direction and the future for AD looks increasingly bright. 

Crucially, later this year the government will present its gas generation strategy, focusing attention back 

on the key issue of providing energy security for Britain. The UK has a pitiful amount of gas storage 

compared to others in Europe, and will soon be importing over 80% of our gas. With eight out of ten 

British households reliant on the gas grid the possibility of a gas shortage is politically explosive to say 

the least. Even if supplies are maintained, the price of gas is set to double in the next five years. The need 

for sustainable, renewable gas will soon be a major priority for politicians. 

ADBA will continue its work lobbying government to deliver the solutions to your problems. ADBA is 

here to work for you, the AD industry, so please come and talk to us at the show. This is your opportunity 

to make sure that we understand the issues that you need solving over the next year. 

Thank you to everyone who has helped to deliver UK AD & Biogas 2012 and a big thank you to all our 

sponsors including Tamar Energy, Xylem Water solutions UK, landia, Compass Renewables, Walker 

Morris, Aerocover, Monsal, imtech Process and Vogelsang for all their support. 

i look forward to meeting you over the two days and wish you an informative and successful show!

tHE roLE of ADBA 

By Charlotte Morton, ADBA’s Chief Executive 

in challenging economic times, AD is the 

ultimate good news story. it can help 

deliver jobs, growth and energy security, 

while reducing waste and supporting the future 

of farming and domestic food production. in 

delivering in all these areas, the AD industry will 

also cut carbon emissions across a huge range 

of sectors and ensure that we make the most 

efficient possible use of our resources. 

one of ADBA’s key roles as the sector’s trade 

association is to make sure that different 

government departments understand what AD 

can deliver for them. We are working closely 

with Bis to demonstrate the sector’s economic 

value to the UK, and with DECC on what AD 

can deliver in terms of cutting greenhouse gas 

emissions and generating a flexible, base load 

form of renewable energy. As the lead department 

on AD, Defra have a wide-ranging overview 

and we are working with them on delivering 

the AD Action Plan, along with issues around 

waste, recycling and supporting farming. We 

are also working with Clg on waste collection 

and planning, and with DfT on the benefits of 

biomethane as a transport fuel, particularly 

for HgVs. 

All this work is vital to ensure that support for AD 

is clear and stable, to ensure that the AD market 

becomes an ever more attractive place in which 

to operate and invest. so many positive stories 

across so many areas of government policy 

make advocating the right support for the 

industry challenging. 

That’s why we’ve put a lot of work recently into 

honing our key messages, and will be devoting 

even more work over the coming year to ensuring 

that individuals, communities, local and national 

government understand what AD can deliver both 

for them and for the UK as a whole. At UK AD & 

Biogas 2012, i am particularly looking forward to 

the launch of the independent CentreForum think 

tank report into how policy at government level 

The UK’s 16 million 

tonnes of food waste gives 

off more than 20 million 

tonnes of CO 2 e 

“We want to ensure that individuals, 

communities, local and national 

government understands what AD 

can deliver both for them and for the 

UK as a whole” 

Charlotte Morton, Chief Executive, ADBA 

can better support the industry, alongside ADBA’s 

‘beginner’s guides’ to AD for farmers, the public 

and politicians. you’ll be able to pick up copies of 

all of these at the ADBA stand. 

To maximise the benefits from AD, one of our 

central messages is that source segregating the 

collection of organic wastes is vital. The UK’s 

16 million tonnes of food waste gives off more 

than 20 million tonnes of Co 2 e, 3% of the UK’s 

emissions. A further 1% comes from the use of 

artificial fertilisers. Uniquely, AD tackles both 

of these, reducing methane emissions while 

producing renewable energy and biofertiliser. 

With PAs110 and proposed Europe-wide end 

of waste criteria requiring source segregation to 

Role of ADBA 

ensure the production of quality biofertilisers, we 

are calling for a clear strategy from Westminster 

in favour of the separation of waste streams from 

homes and businesses, which has the further 

benefit of reducing waste overall. 

Throughout our work with government, ADBA 

continues to advocate clear, stable strategies. 

This includes where they see the best use of 

biogas, to inform their priorities with incentives, 

and the use of scientific evidence as a base for 

decisions and statements on the use of purposegrown 

crops in AD. ADBA strongly believes that 

purpose grown crops are one of the best forms 

of bioenergy available: they produce an excellent 

energy return per hectare, while complementing 

food production by supporting crop rotations, 

increasing soil quality and returning nutrients to 

land. The energy produced can help reduce the 

financial and carbon cost of farming, and provide 

a stable revenue stream which supports farming 

businesses, helping to keep farmers farming. 

Acting as a voice for the industry in all of these 

areas is only part of ADBA’s role. you can read 

more about the activities of members in our 

thirteen working groups on page 56 – they have 

delivered outputs such as the Due Diligence 

template, a competency matrix for AD operators 

and a guide to terminology in the industry. ADBA 

members have also been working fantastically 

hard to produce a general guide to AD, which 

will be published later this year. More widely, 

our team works hard to support our members’ 

businesses, through events such as UK AD 

& Biogas, the industry Awards, our National 

Conference, R&D Forums and Members’ Meeting, 

by providing advice, membership services and 

marketing opportunities. 

There is ever more focus around the world on 

how we use our resources, and how we get more 

value from using less. AD is the missing link in 

so many sectors: helping achieve sustainable 

intensification in farming and food production, 

realising the greatest environmental benefit from 

food waste, producing a flexible low carbon gas 

and reducing our reliance on energy-intensive 

artificial fertilisers. The AD sector is central to the 

green growth which the UK so desperately needs.

AD MAstErcLAssEs AnD WorksHops 

Day 1 – Wednesday 4th July 

Purple Seminar 

10.00 Feedstock Pre-Treatment 

Pre-treating AD feedstocks has a number of important aims, including de-packaging, removing 

contamination and improving biogas yields. After an introduction from Terry Brownhill, Eddie 

simpson will discuss the benefits of a pre-digestion percolation and hydrolysis stage, with Chris 

oldfield considering the benefits, and potential pitfalls, of shredding materials for AD. 

Chair: Terry Brownhill, Eaton Management 

Eddie Simpson, AMEC, Chris Oldfield, UNTHA UK 

11.00 Biogas in Transport: the Roadmap 

Using biomethane as a transport fuel offers huge greenhouse gas and particulate emission 

savings, and it can be used in existing natural gas vehicles without the need for further 

modification. That – and the rising price of diesel – is making it an increasingly attractive option, 

particularly in the heavy goods sector where there are few alternative low-carbon options. A 

number of obstacles to the sector still remain however: the infrastructure for gas refuelling is not 

yet in place, and there is no direct incentive for biomethane producers to supply the transport 

sector. in this session Andrew will present ADBA’s strategy for advancing the sector, steve will 

discuss the full results of Coca-Cola’s trial of biomethane trucks, while Chris will consider his 

experience of the transport fuel market and how it is developing. 

Chair: Andrew Whittles, low Emission strategies 

Steve Carroll, Cenex, Chris Nash, gasrec 

12.00 Environmental Permitting for AD 

Environmental permitting can be a complex and difficult to understand process. Howard leberman 

will give an overview of the latest developments and guidance from the Environment Agency, while 

stephen Barnes will give his experience from supporting projects through the permitting process. 

Howard Leberman, Environment Agency, Stephen Barnes, Wardell Armstrong 

12.55 LUNCH 

14.00 Developing Smarter AD 

Developing AD projects quickly, sustainably and cost effectively is the ultimate goal of those 

responsible for managing and delivering AD projects. Using the latest in science, engineering 

and economics, steve Broome will introduce CPi’s AD Development Centre which is designed to 

help organisations of all sizes to develop anaerobic digestion (AD) processes for conventional 

and novel waste streams. Mark Bedford will outline how computational process modelling can 

assist in the delivery of AD facilities in the waste sector using a short live demonstration of an 

operating waste plant. 

Steve Broome, CPi, Mark Bedford, Wardell Armstrong 

15.00 Optimising Digester Performance 

Maximising gas yield and quality digestate production are critical to the success of an AD plant. 

in this session, Andy Mail will talk about the benefits of percolation as a pre-treatment method 

and the addition of molasses into the digester, Ray long will present on the field trial results of 

Citadel’s Biocat+, Eilert Balssen will consider how mixing can be optimised based on viscosity, 

while gunnel Hagstam will examine how the treatment of household waste can be optimised. 

Andy Mail, AMEC, Ray Long, Citadel, Dr Eilert Balssen, Xylem Water solutions, 

Gunnel Hagstam, Kemira Chemicals 

16.00 R&D Taster Session: Optimising Bacteria 

The latest academic developments on how AD projects can use innovative techniques to optimise 

bacteria will be outlined by sandra Esteves, who will explain how digesters can be controlled 

through microbial profiling, and shane Carter, who will outline how natural occurring anaerobic 

bacteria can be used as digester inoculums. 

Dr Sandra Esteves, University of glamorgan, Shane Carter, interface Chemistry

17.00 CLOSE 



Green Seminar 

10.00 Morning Debate: The Range of AD Technology 

AD is a wide-ranging technology able to treat a variety of organic feedstocks – which is not 

always well understood. Dorian Harrison will chair a debate on what type of technology 

works best in what scenarios, with Robin szmidt, Amaya Arias-garcia and Tina Wolter giving 

examples of projects they have been involved in. They will consider the range of ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ 

technologies, and what buyers need to consider when choosing which technology to use. 

Chair: Dorian Harrison, Monsal 

Robin Szmidt, Kuettner UK, Amaya Arias-Garcia, Tamar Energy, Tina Wolter, siTA UK 

11.00 Procuring AD Technology 

With a huge range of potential suppliers and technologies available for every part of the 

AD process, it can be difficult to know where to start. However, making good decisions in 

procurement is critical to project success. The technology needs to be right for the feedstock and 

location, and you need to have confidence that it will operate efficiently and to its potential. Nick 

Churchward, Andrew Jenkins and Hugh Bulson discuss the issues you need to consider, and 

the questions you need to ask of suppliers. 

Chair: Nick Churchward, Burges salmon 

Andrew Jenkins, Zebec Biogas, Dr Hugh Bulson, organic Resource Agency 

12.00 Making Better Use of Heat 

Making the most efficient and effective use of the products of the AD process is paramount 

to the success of the industry, and heat from CHP is no exception. This session will consider 

innovative ways of using heat produced, including a presentation from steve Richmond on the 

use of AD in district heating systems, a discussion from Hans Wain on how heat can be used to 

generate extra electricity and a paper from Jos Van Buijtenen on how the organic Rankine Cycle 

(oRC) can be integrated into the AD process. 

Steve Richmond, Rehau, Hans Wain, ElectraTherm, Jos Van Buijiten, Triogen 

12.55 LUNCH 

14.00 Focus on Digestate: PAS110 and the Future of End of Waste 

Five AD plants in the UK are now accredited under PAs110, the end of waste specification which 

guarantees that digestate produced is of a high quality and can be applied to land without being 

subject to waste regulations. However, some AD operators have encountered difficulties complying 

with the requirements of the specification and achieving PAs110 status. Becky Arnold will discuss 

the experience of Biogengreenfinch in meeting the specification, while Nina sweet will give an 

update on the future of PAs110, in the context of a current review of aspects of the specification, 

and proposals for Europe-wide end of waste legislation. 

Becky Arnold, Biogengreenfinch, Nina Sweet, WRAP 

15.00 Focus on Digestate 

There is little doubt that digestate is currently under-valued, and that developing markets 

for the material is important for the future of the AD industry. This session, introduced by 

WRAP digestate specialist David Tompkins, will consider market development work such 

as that undertaken by Howard Robinson, research into the effect of digestate on soils with 

a presentation from John Walsh, and technological developments such as Huber’s work on 

plastics removal. 

Chair: David Tompkins, WRAP 

Howard Robinson, sKM Enviros, John Walsh, Bangor University, 

Tony Clutten, Huber Technology 

16.00 Biogas Upgrading Technology 

The wide range of biogas clean-up and upgrading technologies will be considered in this 

session, alongside the issues around network entry facilities, the barriers to grid entry and the 

potential for pressurising gas ‘uphill’. stephen McCulloch and Coen Meijers will discuss their 

grid injection projects, at stockport and Poundbury respectively, which are set to come online 

this summer, while Alison Cartwright will provide a comprehensive outline of the requirements 

and equipment needed for a developer of a biomethane to grid project.

process and reduce costs, Ray, Mark and Thomas will use their extensive practical experience to 

outline the path to securing planning permission. 

Chair: Ray Williams, ADAs 

Mark Clayton, Aardvark EM, Thomas Minter, Malaby Biogas 

11.00 AD: Does it FIT? 

What makes a plant work and what doesn’t? Covering topics including feedstock supply, digestate 

utilisation, grid connections and finance, Cath Anthony and Anna Bright will consider the full 

range of technical and commercial factors that must be taken into account when determining the 

feasibility of a project. 

Cath Anthony, Bidwells Agribusiness, Anna Bright, organic Resource Agency 

12.00 R&D Taster Session 

introducing the latest academic developments in the AD world, David Russell will also touch on the 

work of the Bioscience KTN, while sandra Esteves will examine how AD and bioplastics recycling 

can be integrated. This is a taster session for ADBA’s R&D Forums, which are held in various 

locations in the spring and autumn of each year.

12.55 LUNCH 

14.00 Monitoring and Dealing with Gas 

Accurate biogas analysis can assist process control, helping to evaluate and optimise 

digester performance and check on potentially harmful levels of H 2 s and moisture. Alongside 

this, monitoring for gas leaks is a vital part of biogas plant safety and performance, as well 

as critical to reducing potent climate change gases. lionel Macey and Tom Burniston will 

identify the latest industry techniques for identifying biogas contamination and monitoring 

gas leaks. 

Lionel Macey, Therm Tech, Tom Burniston, geotech 

15.00 Training for Operating AD plants: Demonstrating Technical Competence 

WAMiTAB, CiWM and the National skills Academy will discuss the latest training standards 

that the industry is using. Training for AD is currently underdeveloped, but this is changing very 

quickly. Ray Burberry and Claire Poole will cover what the options are for those in the waste 

management sector, while Kevin Thrower will present on his work with the HsE to apply the 

lessons learned from other industries in the AD sector.

Green Seminar 

10.00 Morning Debate: Is the Full Value of AD being recognised? 

AD is much more than just another renewable energy technology, or form of waste treatment. 

There are a full range of benefits across areas as diverse as economic growth, nutrient recycling, 

pathogen reduction and baseload energy generation. Are government and other sectors of the 

economy recognising this huge potential in their approach to AD, and how does this affect 

their interest in and support for AD? This session will consider benefits of AD which are less 

commonly recognised, and consider how they can be harnessed to help the industry grow. 

Chair: Charlotte Morton, ADBA 

John Walsh, Bangor University, David Joffe, Committee on Climate Change (CCC) 

11.00 Small Scale AD 

AD comes in all shapes and sizes – and there is particularly strong innovation in the supply of 

smaller scale plants across various sectors. Exploring the viability of small scale AD projects from 

the perspective of developers, this seminar will introduce case studies to demonstrate the wide 

range of options and opportunities that are available in small scale AD. 

Michael Lyle, HydroThane UK, Richard Gueterbock, Clearfleau, Nigel Dowler, sEaB Energy 

12.00 The Best Crops for AD 

Purpose grown crops present a fantastic opportunity for farmers and the agricultural community 

to enhance their existing activities, while generating a reliable alternative revenue stream. This 

session will explore the suitability of various crops given differing climatic and soil conditions, 

how biogas yields can be maximised, what are the key economic factors around production as 

well as giving an overview of the Best Practice guide for crops that is currently being developed. 

Oliver Knowland, Future Biogas, John Burgess, KWs UK, Ed Stevens, Hutchinsons 

12.55 LUNCH 

14.00 Ensuring High Standards of Operation 

Ensuring that the appropriate health and safety standards are in place is crucial to building 

confidence and driving the sector’s continuing development. Projen’s les gornall will introduce the 

session, and Amaya Arias-garcia from Tamar will give the developer and operator perspective on 

the importance of standards. They will be joined by Howard leberman, who will explain the EA’s 

work on best practice. 

Chair: Les Gornall, PRojEN BioEnergy 

Amaya Arias-Garcia, Tamar Energy, Howard Leberman, Environment Agency 

15.00 AD in the Water Sector: What’s in the Pipeline? 

AD has long been part of the water sector as a treatment for sewage sludge. However, 

the opportunities for water companies to make more of AD and biogas - and even for 

innovative projects with the wider waste management sector - remain enormous. Paul steen 

will introduce the topic, and Barry olvier will discuss his involvement with Welsh Water’s 

innovative AD projects.

tamar Energy limited, an innovative 

company focussed on recovering the 

value from organic waste matter in the 

form of energy and fertiliser, was launched in 

london 22 February 2012. Backed by a strong 

investor group who are have contributed over 

£90m Tamar Energy will develop a UK network 

of over 40 anaerobic digestion (AD) plants to 

generate 100MW of green electricity over the next 

five years. 

There is a significant opportunity for AD to play 

an increased role in the UK’s green energy market 

which, in comparison with germany, is underdeveloped. 

Tamar Energy and its shareholders 

aim to help the development of this industry in 

the UK, simultaneously dealing with handling 

of waste and green energy generation. AD uses 

proven technology to convert organic waste into 

Launched last November following iTT 

Corporation’s decision to form three new 

standalone businesses, Xylem comprises 

five market leading brands, Flygt, godwin, 

leopold, sanitaire and Wedeco, offering a range 

of solutions to the many fluid related issues faced 

by the AD industry. 

According to industry Manager Jason Robinson, 

UK AD & Biogas 2012 is the perfect platform 

to demonstrate the benefits of Xylem’s product 

range: “We will be showcasing our latest 

range of Midsize Flygt Mixers at our stand and 

demonstrating our ability to provide energy 

savings of up to 50% compared with other 

mixing technology, delivering more profit to our 

customers’ operations. We are also delighted 

that Xylem HQ’s Biogas Market Manager, Dr 

Eilert Balssen, will once again be in attendance, 

delivering a seminar on reducing energy 

consumption in digesters,” adds Jason.

landfill and provides “green” fertiliser 

for agriculture. 

The project brings together UK and international 

blue chip partners and investors whose input 


and expertise will be critical in developing the 

business. The investor group is led by RiT Capital

tHE vALuE of AD 

AD has the potential to deliver over 40TWh of renewable energy, 

equivalent to over 10% of the UK’s domestic gas demand. The biogas 

produced from AD is a flexible energy form which can help reduce the 

carbon emissions of difficult sectors such as heavy goods transport. 

And production is constant, so it can balance the intermittent generation 

of other renewables. 

it’s a £2-3bn industry which generates lots of energy, lowers 

greenhouse gas emissions, saves money on waste collection and 

treatment, and generates businesses additional revenue. 

AD could also provide a significant proportion – around a quarter 

– of the UK’s renewable fertilisers. Producing digestate to replace 

artificial fertilisers, as well as providing farms with both energy 

and revenue, puts AD at the centre of climate-smart farming and 

sustainable food production. 

We’re happy to help with anything concerning 

anaerobic digestion. Whatever your questions or 

concerns, please come and talk to us here at 

the show, or visit us at adbiogas.co.uk for 

more information.

Working Groups 

Working groups BiogAs to ELEctricitY 

ADBA has 13 working groups covering every aspect of the anaerobic 

digestion and biogas industry. They are the principal mechanism 

for ADBA’s policy development, and give members a chance to 

have their say, contribute to decisions for the industry and discuss matters 

of common concern with other businesses. Each working group has been set 

up to be more than just a talking shop: they have specific work and projects, 

which aim to achieve useful outcomes for the anaerobic digestion industry. 

They also contribute to ADBA’s response to consultations and other requests 

for information from government, which gives them a key role in forming 

policy and ensuring that the voice of the industry is heard. 

Following the government’s publication of the Anaerobic Digestion strategy 

and Action Plan in June 2011, the working groups have lead on delivering 

the actions for the industry for which ADBA is responsible. our Due Diligence 

template, produced in conjunction with WRAP, was reviewed by the lawyers 

Working group, whilst the Training and safety Wg produced a Competency 

and skills Matrix and the Process and Technical Wg has recently created 

a glossary of terms for the industry. other tasks from the Action Plan that 

are currently ongoing which working groups are leading on include the 

development of a template suite of legal precedent documents, identifying 

training requirements and developing Best Practice for AD. 

Working groups meet every couple of months in various locations. The 

latest meeting dates are circulated to members in ADBA’s fortnightly emails, 

and directly to individuals who have taken part or expressed interest in each 

group. With the exception of the Process and Technical Wg, membership is 

open to all ADBA members – and the minutes and outputs of the groups are 

also available to members via the Association’s website. More information 

about the working groups is available either by contacting individual chairs, 

or via Jordan Marshall (jordan.marshall@adbiogas.co.uk), 

who coordinates the groups. 

AgricuLturE 

The Agriculture Wg considers all aspects of AD on farms. it is attended 

by representatives from WRAP and the Environment Agency, who update 

members on their work and regulatory developments, and can answer 

questions or take actions back. Topics of discussion include the full range of 

issues surrounding on farm AD, including: feedstock, purpose grown crops 

digestate disposal and storage options, compatibility of digestate application 

with customer protocol (in particular supermarkets), planning and permitting 

requirements, gHg emissions from AD and funding options, as well as 

engagement with key stakeholders and lobbying on behalf of members on 

issues of concern.

injecting biomethane into the gas grid. This includes current gas grid 

specification for biomethane injection and proposed changes, and the 

wider regulatory framework (with DECC, ofgem & HsE). The group will 

also work on assessment of biogas upgrade technologies, best practice 

for upgrading biogas to biomethane and issues surrounding the sale of 

injected biomethane and the Renewable Heat incentive. Representatives 

from DECC’s RHi team have also attended meetings, allowing members the 

opportunity to directly influence future changes to how the RHi will support 

biomethane injection.

The Digestate Wg looks at how to produce a quality product from AD, issues 

around regulation of digestate and market development. A vital role that the 

group will play over the next few months will be to feed into the end of waste 

proposals that are currently being developed in Europe, providing detailed 

input with regard to the requirements of the new proposals and the timetable 

for adoption of the new legislation in the UK.

The recently formed Dry AD Wg will focus on dry digestion, the process 

suitable for materials that could otherwise be composted, including wood. 

Dry digestion produces a solid digestate which is easy to store and spread 

and the process also minimises and recirculates liquids resulting in high 

process efficiency and gas yield. The group has already contributed to 

the development of ADBA’s AD guide, and will be working to achieve the 

recognition of dry AD’s potential as a waste treatment.

AD. This includes material sourcing, waste collection, quality, feedstock 

preparation, value (e.g. gas yield), all of which combine to make a material 

more or less suitable for the AD process and impact on the design, CAPEX 

and oPEX of running an AD process. Members are currently looking to 

develop guidance on feedstock testing, as well as looking at issues around 

data on gate fees.
