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 […]
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 […]
Biomethane Production: Sweden Leads with Schmack Carbotech Plant – Plus One in France
Biomethane Production in Sweden continues to lead in installed biomethane facilities just as it did when we first reported this in 2014. We said at the time that “Sweden’s leading role in bioenergy through biomethane production, with the world’s largest installed biogas upgrading capacity, is set to further pull ahead”. It did and now in 2022, […]
REPowerEU Plan Includes Ambitious Biomethane Target for 2030
The REPowerEU Plan is the European Commission’s plan to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030, in the light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It is the EU’s response to the hardships and global energy market disruption caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. What is the REPowerEU Plan? The majority of European […]
Biomethane in Australia Starts on Demand for RNG & Low Carbon Transport Fuel
Biomethane in Australia is getting started. The construction of Australia’s first biomethane plant has begun as public and industrial demand for renewable natural gas and low-carbon transportation fuels rises. The country also has a new government that is willing to go above and beyond in many aspects of climate change mitigation. The result is that […]
AD Certification Scheme Accreditation Awarded to Vale Green Energy
Vale Green Energy joins the list of sites which have achieved AD Certification Scheme Accreditation. It has shown its intent to apply the high standard of AD plant operation that the AD industry considers good practice within their industry. ADBA members devised the scheme with a mission to raise the whole industry to those of […]
3 Anaerobic Sludge Digestion Case Studies
These three anaerobic sludge digestion case studies explain how water utility companies are embracing the anaerobic digestion process as their method of choice for the treatment of the vast quantities of solid sludge materials which they aerate and settle out of the sewage entering their sewage works every day. While doing that they produce a […]
Biogas and Biomethane in France – Current Growth and Status
Back in the spring of 2018, we said that biogas and biomethane output was about to grow in France as part of 15 point government plan, and we got that right! France intends to increase the amount of biogas/ biomethane injected into the gas grid from almost nothing in 2017 to more than half of […]
Biomethane Price Now Lower than Natural Gas by 30% (EBA)
For the first time, the biomethane price is now lower than natural gas by as much as 30%. That’s the news from the European Biogas Association (EBA). In this article, we explain how renewable pure biogas methane known as rCNG (and RNG) has become substantially cheaper than Natural Gas (a fuel extracted from geological deposits) […]
Biomethane Gas to Grid to Fuel UK “Levelling-up Agenda” with Decarbonisation Jobs
Earlier this week a Parliamentary Under-Secretary reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to supporting the anaerobic digestion industry in its quest to develop biomethane “gas to grid” (gas to the nation’s natural gas grid). And to help fuel the UK “Levelling-up Agenda” while also adding to UK decarbonisation required to comply with national targets. Unfortunately, actions speak […]
