Zoo Biogas – Why Every Zoo Should Have an AD Plant
To produce zoo biogas makes a great deal of sense in a world seeking ways to fight climate change. In fact, any zoo produces a lot of organic waste which is ideal for renewable energy production in a “biodigester” or anaerobic digestion facility. Just visit any of the large animal enclosures at any zoo and […]
UK Biogas – UK AD Industry 21st Century History and End of Stagnation
“UK Biogas” or the UK anaerobic digestion and biogas production industry to give it its full title has been developed over the years since 2000. In this article, we cover the UK Industry’s history and recent developments. Increasing demand for renewable energy resources, rising energy costs, and stringent government regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions […]
Food Waste Separators for Depackaging All Kinds of Inedible Food
Food waste separators for depackaging and contaminant material removal from all types of inedible food are in increasing demand. A major challenge faced at food waste processing plants by plant operators is to remove all plastics and packaging leaving pure organic content that is used via anaerobic digestion to produce biogas as well as sell renewable energy. Rising […]
Low Temperature Anaerobic Digestion (Lt-AD) Is Set To Reduce TE Charges
On This Page Low-Temperature Anaerobic Digestion A Low-Temperature Anaerobic Digestion Breakthrough Bioelectrochemical Optimization of Biogas Production in LTAD at 10 °C Investigation of low-temperature biogas generation Low-Temperature Anaerobic Digestion Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a cost-effective and commonly utilised waste and wastewater treatment method. It’s usually done at a mesophilic (25-37oC) temperature. Many industrial wastewaters, on […]
US EPA and USDA Boost Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas as a Major Renewable Energy Source
The US EPA and USDA have recently updated and extended their anaerobic digestion and biogas plant sections. This will further boost the uptake of anaerobic digestion technology and biogas/ biomethane production as a major renewable energy source. At the same time, there is recognition that anaerobic digestion has many other benefits, and these too are […]
How to Reduce Methane Emissions – Using Agricultural and Waste Biogas
The question of how to reduce methane emissions is an important one. It is not fully appreciated that the science shows that the ONLY way to meet global temperature rise targets is to drastically reduce methane emissions now. This can be done by using tried and tested agricultural and waste sector biogas technology. No new […]
How Anaerobic Digestion Processes Treat Municipal Solid Waste for Biogas and Waste Diversion
Increasingly Anaerobic Digestion Processes are being applied to treat Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) for the production of biogas as a renewable energy source, and also for Waste Diversion. Waste Diversion in this context means the diversion of waste (especially organic waste) away from landfills. Anaerobic Digestion of MSW On This Page Municipal Solid Waste […]
Anaerobic Digester Cost – Manure Management Projects On-Farm
How much does an Anaerobic Digester cost to construct, commission and run? That’s the vital question for AD utilisation on manure management projects on farms. If the sum of these costs is known and the price payable for the outputs in energy and biofertiliser available to any farm business they will be able to work […]
Use of Biomethane Decarbonises Heavy Vehicles Now – Why Wait?
Today a new report has been announced which adds to the chorus of voices saying that the UK government and business community should promote the use of biomethane (purified biogas/ renewable compressed natural gas rCNG) for its ability to decarbonises all types of heavy vehicles now. We say: “Why would anyone wait for an as-yet […]
Anaerobic Digestion in California
CalRecycle is a body that has been encouraging Anaerobic Digestion in California within the overall remit of development of green technologies, for at least 3 years. One of those green technologies is anaerobic digestion (AD). The state body continues to encourage technologies like AD that divert organic waste from landfills and comply with the states’ […]
