5 Things You Should Know Before Designing a Biogas Plant
We sat down and wrote this article on “5 things you should know before designing a Biogas Plant” to help our readers to create the best biogas plant design way back in 2015. 10 years later, we look back, and we think this information is still relevant and useful. (And, we also added some additional […]
Natural Carbon Capture Technology: How Anaerobic Digestion Captures Carbon & Supplies Industrial CO2
We will explain how biogas production has always been a Carbon Capture Technology since the first biomethane plant was built. In fact, the anaerobic digestion upgrading process cannot help but capture carbon (while separating the C02 from the methane in biogas) and this is now transforming the UK’s CO2 produced for use in industrial applications. […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Ireland: Can Cut 68% of all Irish Agri GHGs
Ireland faces a big challenge with greenhouse gas emissions and the way to reduce them will depend heavily on Anaerobic digestion. In Ireland making biogas will be more important than in many other countries and if it fails to meet EU targets the nation will face massive fines. Agriculture, waste management, and energy production are […]
MBT Waste – The Mechanical Biological Treatment of Residual Waste
Discover the MBT Waste Process for Residual Municipal Waste Treatment Dealing with waste is a common problem for many communities and agree that the old way of chucking it into a big hole (landfill) isn’t a solution. So, you might be wondering how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills. This […]
Rethinking Ammonia in Anaerobic Digestion: Utilising Paths to Energy or Protein
As the world rapidly expands its anaerobic digestion and biogas infrastructure in the most part driven to meet renewable energy needs, it’s time we turned our attention to an often-overlooked component: ammonia. While traditionally viewed as a waste product to be eliminated, and of course having a very useful role in digestate fertiliser production, let’s […]
UK Government Champions Biomethane Energy Transition to Transform Clean Power Future
The biomethane energy transition received unprecedented government backing last week (in December 2024) as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Miatta Fahnbulleh MP unveiled ambitious plans for green gas development at a landmark industry conference. Speaking at the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) event in London, the Minister detailed how UK renewable gas investment […]
How Microplastics in Wastewater Disrupt Anaerobic Digestion and Threaten Sludge Treatment
In this article we report on new research that reveals how microplastics disrupt anaerobic digestion and threaten sludge treatment due to the increasing presence of these tiny plastic particles in sewage works sludge (known as biosolids). A recent study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials highlights the detrimental effects of microplastics (MPs) on sludge […]
COP29 Declaration on Organic Waste a Pivotal Moment for Biogas
The much maligned COP29 event this November, and the “COP29 Declaration on Organic Waste” may eventually prove to be a pivotal moment, a breakthrough, for the full development of anaerobic digestion and biogas production globally. As the world confronts alarming projections for climate change, the COP29 Declaration on Organic Waste will be a much needed […]
Zoo Biogas – Why Every Zoo Should Have an AD Plant?
To produce zoo biogas for sustainable waste management and energy revenue makes a great deal of sense in a world seeking ways to fight climate change. The fact is that, zoos produce a lot of organic waste which is ideal for renewable energy production in a “biodigester” or anaerobic digestion facility. Just visit any of […]
Sensory Testing of CO2: Comparing Traditional Sources and Biogas Carbon Capture
Comparing Biogas Carbon Capture with Conventional Sources for Sensory Evaluation of CO2: Is Biogenic CO2 Really Good Enough to Put the Fizz in our Drinks? The global push for sustainability has led to the rise of innovative technologies, including biogas carbon capture, which provides a renewable source of CO2. However, not all CO2 is created […]
