The Dark Side of Biogas Development Aid in Africa: A Call for Transparency
A number of researchers have been highlighting a dark side to the continuing use of biogas development aid in Africa. That lies in literally hundreds of unseen unreported failures of international development agency-funded biogas projects in Africa. But, the problem is far from limited to Africa and is happening in many other developing nations as […]
COMAH Regulations for Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Plants
Read this article for an understanding of the UK “COMAH Regulations for Anaerobic Digestion” as they apply to Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Plants. The UK’s Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH)1 regulations are an important statutory instrument, overseeing all establishments that handle significant quantities of hazardous substances. With recent concerns expressed by the UK Health […]
How to Eliminate CO2 from Biogas? “Scrubbing” Explained
Here we explain how to Eliminate CO2 from Biogas, (or CO2 Scrubbing). Biogas can be upgraded to pipeline natural gas quality (biomethane) for use as a renewable natural gas, but as part of the upgrading process, it will be necessary to remove the carbon dioxide (CO2) from the biogas. This upgraded gas may also be […]
Rice Straw Biogas – How to Make Clean Fuel from Rice Crop Residues and Decarbonise
Biogas from rice straw (rice straw biogas production) is a proven technology that is still almost completely untapped. Around 300 million tonnes of waste rice straw is burnt in fields across Asia every year. Rice accounts for 48% of all greenhouse gas emissions from crops globally or 1,000 MT of CO2e/yr. Straw burning is producing […]
How Biogas is Produced from Waste: Making Clean Renewable Energy from Muck
We are hoping that you are looking for information on how biogas is produced from waste. We will explain that in just a moment. But, first, we ask you to pause for thought, because the whole idea of energy from a fuel good enough to replace natural gas, must at first sound like nonsense! Yes? […]
Anaerobic Digestion in South Africa – Biogas an Untapped Renewable Resource
The adoption of Anaerobic Digestion in South Africa is at an early stage in what will be a large and productive local industry if developed to even a small proportion of its full potential. For anyone familiar with the country it must be undeniable that they have large untapped renewable resources in all forms of […]
How the U.S. “Moving Forward Act” is Boosting the Biogas Industry
The Moving Forward Act, passed by the US House of Representatives in 2020, is a comprehensive infrastructure package aimed at boosting sustainable technologies and creating new jobs. The act includes provisions that specifically support the biogas industry, which has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create renewable energy. In this updated article, we […]
Borger Powerfeed Digester Feeding is Revolutionizing Rural Energy at a Sychtyn Farm
In this article, we explain how the Borger Powerfeed Biogas Feeding System powers the biogas digesters which are revolutionizing rural energy production. This is followed here by a Press Release which provides a case study of it powering up a farm in Sychtyn, North Wales. Introducing the Borger Powerfeed The Borger Powerfeed is a biogas […]
What is Biogas? Beginner’s Anaerobic Digesters Large & Small
We answer the question: “What is Biogas?” Biogas is generated during anaerobic digestion (AD) when microorganisms break down (by eating it) organic materials in the absence of air (or oxygen). Biogas is mostly methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), with very small amounts of water vapor and other gases. The carbon dioxide and other gases […]
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 […]
