Biogas in Africa as a Replacement for Fossil Fuels in Sub-Saharan Africa
Biogas in Africa can have a central role in the replacement of fossil fuels in Sub-Saharan Africa and in providing affordable and clean energy as identified in the 2030 UN SDG 7. So, despite many setbacks and our previously voiced very real concerns about transparency and accountability when things go wrong, we provide this updated […]
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 […]
