Gas from waste could heat almost half the homes in the UK, according to a new report from National Grid.
It says obtaining more gas from waste will help cut carbon emissions, improve energy security and compensate for the shortage of landfill sites.

Today's report says an extra £10 billion investment could increase that to between 5 and 18%.
The cost would be similar to that of other forms of renewable energy.
