Biogas and Biomethane in 2024: Future Trends & Predictions for the UK’s Anaerobic Digestion Industry
In this article, we look ahead to likely developments in UK biogas and biomethane in 2024 to give you our thoughts on the trends likely to develop this year for better, and in some cases, for worse for the anaerobic digestion (AD) industry sector in the United Kingdom. As energy costs remain high and record profits […]
Separate Food Waste Collections Mandatory in England by 2026
It might seem obvious that it’s way beyond the time for English local authorities to implement separate food waste collections (SFWCs). Wales and Scotland have been doing it successfully for 7 years. Now, at last, weekly SFWCs are set to become a legal requirement for all English LAs by 2026. The government’s implementation of food waste […]
Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits for UK Biogas Plant Operators – Are You Claiming Yours?
According to many tax experts, the UK AD industry frequently misses out on R&D tax credits that are available to UK biogas plant operators and which go unclaimed. Are you sure that your business is claiming all the R&D tax credits to which you are entitled? No two biogas plants are ever built quite the […]
To The Moo-n: Using Cow Dung From A Biogas Plant – The AD Process Fuels Japan’s Space Ambitions
Yes. You heard it here first! Cow dung rocket fuel, which is the feed for a biogas plant (using the process of anaerobic digestion), has been used in a successful test to fuel Japan’s space ambitions. Imagine getting the fuel for rockets not from complicated chemicals but from something as simple as cow dung. Yes, […]
The Truth Behind Electric Kitchen Composters: Understanding Food Waste Management
Take care! “Electric Kitchen Composters” are not what their name suggests them to be. In the realm of sustainable living and waste management, the distinction between traditional composting and modern food waste dehydrators is often blurred. Recent discussions by BioCycle columnists Sally Brown and Ron Alexander have highlighted the issue: many in-home food waste dehydrators […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Germany & AD Industry Growth Prospects from EEG 2021 Act
Anaerobic digestion in Germany is forecast to expand. There is good reason to be optimistic about the prospects of growth in the German anaerobic digestion industry due to the passing of the new 2021 Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) by the Bundestag, which took place just before Christmas 2020. This promises to be a major […]
Sustainable Farm Waste Management and the Role of Anaerobic Digestion
Read on to find out about good farm waste management. Facing the challenges of managing farm waste effectively is a critical issue for farmers and environmentalists alike. Copious amounts of organic matter, from livestock manure to crop residues, are generated regularly on farms across the globe. Dealing with this waste in environmentally friendly and economically viable […]
Post-Consumer Food Waste: Transform Leftovers Into Energy with AD
Food waste is a big issue all over the world. Every year, loads of food gets thrown away after people eat, and much of this leftover food is called post-consumer food waste. It’s important to know that in America alone, people toss out about 60 million tonnes of food every year, which means nearly half […]
FOS/TAC Anaerobic Digestion Process Control – Can You Justify Using Anything Less?
FOS/TAC Anaerobic Digestion process control combines all the important health indicators for a biogas plant’s optimum day-to-day operational adjustments based on the best science. FOS/TAC measurement provides operators with an optimum target ratio to achieve the most stable digester at optimum biogas yield. It costs a bit more to measure than alkalinity, but the technology […]
The Balloon Biogas Plant: A Sustainable Solution For Renewable Energy Generation
The Balloon Biogas Plant can be a long-term answer to renewable power production for small farms and rural communities. Stick around while we make the case for that hypothesis in this article! While searching for renewable energy solutions, you might have stumbled upon the concept of balloon biogas plants. These unique constructions use heat-sealed plastic or […]
