Is Biogas Renewable? Unveiling The Truth Behind Its Sustainability
Many people ask, is biogas renewable? It is mostly methane (a severe greenhouse gas) and when it is burned, it creates carbon dioxide (the gas we are told is the main culprit behind climate change!). So, isn’t the truth behind its sustainability that the whole idea of renewable biogas is pure greenwash? Read on to […]
How Does an Anaerobic Digester Work
How Does an Anaerobic Digester Work? A thorough overview of the process that makes biogas Anaerobic digesters play a crucial role in waste management by breaking down organic waste into biogas and digestate. Imagine that you are at home among the day’s leftovers and garden trimmings. You might think this is just waste, but what […]
Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion: A Comprehensive Guide
Dive into the world of food waste anaerobic digestion and learn how it tackles this pressing waste problem while powering our world in a greener way. Read more about the anaerobic digestion of food waste here now! Food waste isn’t just messy; it’s a growing environmental headache and a squander of resources that hits us all in […]
UK Dry Anaerobic Digestion May Soon Come to England – GMCA to Support New AD System
Introduction to a Groundbreaking Initiative! The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) Waste and Recycling Committee has recently taken a bold step towards adopting an alternative anaerobic digestion process technology that could extend the biowaste management sector in England to many dry organic wastes not hitherto considered useful for energy production. With approval to commission the […]
Digester Mixers by Landia Raise Biogas Production While Revamping a Troublesome AD Plant
Once again digester mixers installed by Landia have turned out to be a crucial component for success when taming a troublesome AD facility. Let’s have a natter about a proper success story. I’m talking about Eco Verde Energy’s (EVE) revamp at their Anaerobic Digestion (AD)+ plant in Holton, Suffolk. Now, this isn’t just any old […]
Finding the Right Feedstock for Anaerobic Digestion Plants
The Challenge of Securing Adequate Feedstock for AD Plants to Secure Initial Capital Funding and During Operation Anaerobic digestion (AD) plants plays a crucial role in the renewable energy landscape, producing biogas through the digestion of organic waste feedstock. However, one of the major challenges in developing and sustaining AD facilities is finding the right […]
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 […]

Implementing sustainable practices not only benefits the environment but also improves soil health and crop productivity. Sustainable waste management in agriculture involves implementing practices that minimize waste generation, promote recycling, and reduce environmental impact. By adopting sustainable waste management practices, farmers can […]
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 […]
