Biogas Tax Credits Available for US AD Projects from 2020
Biogas Tax Credits have now been available since 2020 when this new subsidy support for the US was passed by Congress for Anaerobic Digestion (AD) projects which started development in 2020. So, at last! The US seems now to have started on the road toward reducing the imbalance in automatic tax subsidies still paid to […]
Climate Emergency Declaration: Biogas Can Abate 12% of GHG Emissions by 2030
A Climate Emergency Declaration by governments and communities is of little or no use unless it results in a commitment to an action plan. Most don’t! So our announcement of the Biogas and Climate Change Commitment Declaration in 2019 was notable. Notable because this commitment is real. All the technology needed is available right now. […]
Green Biogas – UK Green Investment Bank Backing Is Proof
We have said many times that the anaerobic digestion process makes green biogas profitable with a good ROI, but where is the proof of that? Back in December 2012 when we first posted this article, we based our case on a “Utility Week” article here which announced that Anaerobic digestion and energy efficiency had won the […]
Biogas from Fish Waste – Energy off the Hook at Waste Salmon AD Plant
Producing biogas from fish waste might not seem like a big deal to mainlanders, but it truly is a big deal on an island with a lot of salmon farms. Getting “energy off the hook” is a sustainable renewable gas-making “fishy business” that provides 24/7 power in all weather conditions to power local communities just […]
What are Biogas Plants? – Digesters Explained with Examples
So, what are Biogas Plants? Biogas plants are systems that use organic waste to generate renewable energy (biogas). Biogas is a gas mixture composed of methane, carbon dioxide, and other gases formed when organic matter decomposes in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic digestion is the process of producing biogas from organic waste. 1 – An […]
Gobar Gas the Benefits of Gas from Dung
Gobar gas is also known as “Bio gas” or simply “biogas”. Its main component is animal dung (gobar – India) along with some other organic matter like dead remains of plants and animals. It can be used for cooking, electricity generation and heating purposes. How Does a Gobar Gas Plant Work? A gobar gas plant […]
Introduction to the Dairy Farm Biogas Production Process
The dairy farm biogas production process begins with the collection of manure and other organic materials from the farm. The organic materials are then mixed with water and degraded by bacteria to create biogas. The biogas is then pressurized, cleaned and purified to grid quality and used to power facilities on the farm. That in […]
Mass Extinction in 2100 – Is UNFCCC’s Warning – Implement Biogas Decarbonization Now!
Concerned about accelerating mass extinction in 2100, and subsequently? Read this to find out how maximising biogas production now is an essential tool towards the decarbonization of Europe. By decarbonising quickly the benefits accrue over the years and provide much more benefit in reduced temperature rises, than by doing this later. Scroll down to read […]
Biogas GCSE – BBC Bitesize Teaching and Course Content Queries
Anaerobic Decay, Methane Gas and Biogas Generators are all topics students learn in the UK Biogas GCSE student curriculum. Here they are discussed from the point of view of a UK biogas expert. Parents: Did you know that biogas GSCE content is being taught in UK schools? Yes, it is. It is good news that […]
Pipeline Quality Gas and 3 Biomethane Gas to Grid Benefits
Pipeline Quality Gas (i. e. natural gas pipeline quality gas made from biogas) and the acceptance of biogas upgrading technology which purifies raw biogas to pipeline quality is the greatest success story of the anaerobic digestion industry of the last 10 years. Acceptance of their “pipeline quality gas” (i.e biomethane) by the natural gas network […]
Anaerobic Digestion in the US: 6 Federal and State Incentives and Funding
The use of biogas as an energy source is on the rise in the United States, due to both federal and state incentives and funding initiatives. Biogas is a renewable energy source produced from the decomposition of organic matter, such as food waste, manure, and other organic materials. In this blog article, we will explore […]
Biogas Potential is Too Small to Make a Difference – 2 Myths Busted! WBA Report Shows
How large is the biogas potential in terms of energy output? Can there ever be enough anaerobic digestion plants to really make enough of a difference to significantly reduce global carbon emissions? The pessimists peddle the 2 main myths that: 1) the energy yield from biogas production is too low, which makes it uneconomical and […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Whey – The Proven Biogas Technology Solution
Disposing of unwanted whey from commercial dairies, was once a considerable problem. But, that was before recent developments in the anaerobic digestion of whey and biogas plant technology. Instead of a problem whey which is not for any reason suitable for food production has become an asset. During the anaerobic digestion process microorganisms break down […]
Is Natural Gas Renewable? Nonrenewable Resources: The Importance of Sustainable Gas
We answer the often-asked question: “Is natural gas renewable?” and give 8 reasons why it is non-renewable. Not even if you waited a million years! 8 Reasons Natural Gas (NG) is Not Renewable Most natural gas and oil formations date back between 10 (Cenozoic) and 180 (Mesozoic) million years ago. All so-called but a tiny […]
10 Uses of Biogas
Here is our list of 8 biogas uses in points. While reading this, bear in mind that biogas is most often made from organic waste materials which would otherwise have no use. The waste digester feedstocks can usually be obtained at a low cost or for free. Above all, it is a sustainable fuel which […]
