10 Facts About Anaerobic Digestion: Unlocking the Power of Waste
Read on for our list of 10 true facts about anaerobic digestion and transforming trash into treasure. We “air” a topic about a process that surprisingly doesn’t need air (oxygen); in fact, the truly anaerobic microorganisms that do the work die if exposed to air! and would be just as happy on the moon. Imagine […]
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 […]

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.
