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’ […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Dairy Manure in the US
The anaerobic digestion of dairy manure in the US is on a rising growth curve. Increased demand to lessen the environmental impact of fossil fuels has sparked significant interest in renewable fuels like biogas. Indeed, several US policy recommendations and rules in the areas of energy, the environment, and agriculture have been developed in the […]
Considerations When Building Steel Retaining Walls at Biogas Plants
Consideration of building steel retaining walls as more biogas plants are built is becoming important. Space can be very limited, especially when AD plant owners decide to add additional digester tanks to existing tank farms. Using a retaining wall is often the only way in which AD plants can be squeezed onto the only available […]
EU Green Lending Criteria – Surprise Crop-based Biofuels Omission
As EU Green Lending criteria are increasingly being defined an interesting development is the controversial omission of crop-based biofuels. This is surprising as it seems to be inconsistent with previous EU Commission policy. All is explained in our republished article from the Energy Census website below: How Will the Omission of Crop-based Ethanol and Biodiesel […]
Separate Food Waste Collections By 2023 In England Need Funding Urgently
It might seem obvious that for English local authorities to implement the separate Food Waste Collections, which are set to become a legal requirement on all LAs, by 2023 in England need help with funding urgently. If not English Local Authorities will need to cut-back yet again on other council services. The government’s implementation of […]
Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits for UK Biogas Plant Operators – Are You Claiming Yours?
That R&D tax credits are often available to Biogas Plant operators is often missed by the general accountancy skills engaged by the UK AD industry, experts believe. We wonder whether you are claiming yours? No doubt that no two biogas plants are ever built quite the same! Every one of them requires quite a significant […]
