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 […]

Anaerobic Digester Mixing Systems With Lowest Cost of Ownership

Selecting anaerobic digester mixing systems to obtain the lowest cost of ownership is important for any biogas plant operator. To consistently produce a high rate of biogas production, anaerobic digesters rely on efficient mixing systems to break up scum and solids and distribute them throughout the digester. The cost of purchasing, operating, and maintaining these […]

Food Waste AD – The Anaerobic Digestion of Inedible Food for Energy and Natural Fertiliser

Food Waste AD is the short way to refer to the anaerobic digestion of food waste. In other words, extracting energy from inedible food provides renewable energy and natural fertiliser while diverting environmentally damaging waste away from landfills. That encapsulates the core philosophy of the movement towards food waste AD. “It’s a crying same that […]
