Salmon Waste Management: The Borger MultiCrusher™ Salmon Crusher
The efficiency of salmon waste management is now improved by the installation of a Borger waste salmon “Multicrusher”. Situated in the midst of the Scottish Islands salmon fishery industry the efficiency and reliability of Borger’s equipment is vital to guarantee the correct shredding of waste salmon to meet environmental and food health security regulations. By […]
Food Waste in Wales: Top World Recycler Accolade for the Welsh
The story of food waste in Wales in recent years has become an inspiration to many in the waste industry in general and the biogas industry in particular. It is so good that the nation that has been described as “hating waste”, has become a world leader for its high rate of organic recycling, ranking […]
New Anaerobic Digestion Plant: Starts, Opens or Commissioned in 2023
In this article, we describe some of the new Anaerobic Digestion Plant (AD) project starts, openings or plants process commissioned so far in 2023. However, overall the number of new AD plants starting to produce biogas is disappointingly low for such a promising technology. The anaerobic digestion of solid waste can only play its part […]
Anaerobic Digestion UK Food Waste News 2023: Promoting Sustainable Solutions
This post continues our tradition of providing an annual round-up of Anaerobic Digestion UK Food Waste News, for 2023, this being a part of our policy of promoting sustainable solutions for all organic forms of waste treatment and disposal. In this blog post, we will delve into the latest news and developments surrounding anaerobic digestion […]
Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion: A Valuable Nutrient-rich Liquid for Sustainable Agriculture
Using digestate from Anaerobic Digestion provides a valuable plant fertiliser. In fact, unlocking the potential of digestate is vital for the sustainability of the agriculture sector. There is nothing else quite as good when you take a holistic view of its many benefits. Digestate is a valuable nutrient-rich liquid produced from the process of anaerobic […]

Pilot-plant Biogas Reactor – How to Do a Pilot Trial Step by Step
How to build and run a small lab scale Pilot-plant Biogas Reactor to carry out the anaerobic digestion of plant biomass (waste organic materials you have available to you for free or at minimal cost) with an A.D. pilot plant experiment, sometimes called a Lab Trial. This is an experimental pilot plant laboratory method to […]
Green Biogas – UK Green Investment Bank Backing Is Proof
We have said many times that the anaerobic digestion process makes green biogas profitable with a good ROI, but where is the proof of that? Back in December 2012 when we first posted this article, we based our case on a “Utility Week” article here which announced that Anaerobic digestion and energy efficiency had won the […]
UK Anaerobic Digestion Plants Exceed 100 And Hit Trouble: Looking Back
In this article, we will look back at our March 2013 article when UK Anaerobic Digestion Plants exceeded 100 and were receiving damaging media attention due to novice operators causing some high-profile environmental problems. So, we reported that they were “hitting trouble”. The fact is that now (in 2023), with the benefit of hindsight, we […]
Join the Fight Against Climate Change with Rapid Biogas Deployment
Are you looking for a solution to the climate crisis? Look no further than anaerobic digestion (AD) and join the fight against climate change with rapid biogas plant deployment. The latest IPCC report has called for urgent action in adopting low-carbon technologies to help meet global warming targets, and AD has emerged as one of […]
Microplastic Contamination in Compost – Composted Green Waste vs Digestate
Microplastic contamination in compost is a problem now, and in geological timescales, all plastic in soils will be washed into the oceans, leading to yet more microplastics in the oceans. But which source of compost is worse for containing microplastics? Composted green waste or the digestate from anaerobic digestion? In this article, we compare both. […]
4 Anaerobic Digestion Regulations – UK Environmental Protection, Animal By-products, Duty of Care, Health and Safety
Anaerobic Digestion Regulations surprisingly, don’t exist in the UK. At least not all neatly bundled into a single government act or rule book. Instead, AD Plant operators must comply with a range of statutory requirements (“Laws” to you and me). The four main UK Anaerobic Digestion Regulations which must be tackled to ensure compliance once […]
Federal Renewable Fuel Standard Changes: Financial Windfall for Anaerobic Digesters and Landfills?
Depending on how the final details shake out during 2023, proposed changes to the federal Renewable Fuel Standard programme could be a financial boon for operators generating energy from anaerobic digesters and landfills. Introduction The proposed changes to the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program in the US could be a financial opportunity for operators […]
ROCs Explained and Why Scheme Closure in 2017 Shocked the UK AD Industry
ROCs Explained! In this article, we explain ROCs (Renewables Obligation Certificates). And, why the 2017 closure of the scheme to new generator capacity and businesses for Anaerobic Digestion was a big shock to the UK AD industry at the time. To many people, it still seems like a mistake and a missed opportunity for UK […]
Anaerobic Digestion Basics and 5 Tips on How AD Works
We bring you the Anaerobic Digestion Basics (AD) and if you scroll down, 5 tips on how AD Works. AD is in-truth an unhelpful acronym for the basic age-old natural process that produces renewable energy as heat and biogas, and at the same time makes a natural crop fertilizer. That, in a nutshell, is basic […]
