Digestate Drying – Is It Viable Environmentally and Economically?
In the evolving landscape of sustainable agriculture and waste management, digestate drying emerges as a promising solution. Digestate, the byproduct of anaerobic digestion processes, offers significant potential as a renewable fertilizer. However, the process of drying digestate demands considerable energy, primarily in the form of heat. This raises a critical question: Is digestate drying environmentally […]
Integration of Biogas Systems into the Energy System
Biogas systems transform organic waste into renewable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. They offer scalable solutions, enhancing grid stability and reliability, particularly in rural areas. Innovative technologies drive their efficiency and sustainability, making biogas a vital part of our renewable energy landscape…
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 […]
Advanced Conversion Technologies Extract Energy from Waste – AD Rivals?
Advanced Conversion Technologies is the term for technologies such as gasification and pyrolysis. These could become competitors with Anaerobic Digestion. In fact, a number of innovative advanced, high-temperature processes for Energy from Waste/ Waste to Energy, are beginning to emerge from the far east. Extracting Energy from Waste Provides a Sustainable Source of Energy Advanced […]
Biogas Power for Low CO2 Emissions & Carbon Negative Electricity
The use of biogas power for renewable low carbon dioxide emissions and, with carbon capture, the ability to provide carbon-negative electricity is unique and growing. In general, the cost of biogas power is slightly higher than the cost of generating electricity from wind or utility-scale solar PV but this is more than offset by the […]
What was the RHI? The UK Renewable Heat Incentive that Closed in 2022
So, what was the RHI? “RHI UK” is shorthand for Renewable Heat Incentive, a government subsidy that closed in 2022. The UK’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI UK) was introduced to help kick-start the transition to low-carbon heating in the UK, giving help to all in moving from conventional forms of heating to low-carbon alternatives. Although […]
SCR Power Plant Solutions: Combined Heat and Power Plants with SCR
It has been more than 4 years since we wrote about the first combined heat and power plants with SCR Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems that were being delivered by ETW Energietechnik of Germany at that time. We have archived our original (March 2018) article below, for our readers because it remains relevant today. In this […]
Combined Heat and Power Advantages and Disadvantages
Combined heat and power advantages and disadvantages are now under the spotlight like never before. This comes from the recent realisation that producing renewable energy alone will not be enough to fully abate climate change and avoid global damage. This article discusses the pros and cons of this type of system. Read on for our […]
