Green Recovery and COP26 Theme of ADBA National Conference 2021
The green recovery post-COVID and the role of anaerobic digestion and biogas hoped to be successfully promoted at the COP25 World Climate Change Conference in Edinburgh UK, will be the focus of presentations at the forthcoming ABDA conference. There are big hopes that the UK’s green gas initiative which will help toward funding and will […]
Renewable Energy Cheaper than Fossil Fuels – Especially Coal if Made by Solar or Wind
Renewable Energy is cheaper than Fossil Fuels now more often than not. That’s a fact confirmed in a new IRENA Annual Report. This leads to the further question; “Is coal cheaper than renewable energy”? Not any longer!. Renewable energy has come down in cost and is now generally the cheapest, and especially so for new […]
Specialist Biogas Pump Manufacturer Returns to Full Service Capability
Specialist biogas pump manufacturer Landia has returned to full-service capability by utilizing the latest in IT-based remote online pump commissioning and services. In a development which we suspect will become the norm for the engineering industry generally as companies adjust to life after COVID-19, remote equipment commissioning is proving to be not only a savior […]
Addressing E-Waste From Printed Circuit Boards
In addressing sustainable waste in the past, we’ve written specifically about the needs of industrialized nations. Another vital need of these nations is for them to address the sustainability issues created by E-Waste from printed circuit boards specifically. We touched on the “treating and sanitizing of wastes” here before. In this current article we pick […]
Stallkamp Builds It’s First Mega Tall Digester CSTRs (IFAT)
“Mega” Tall Digester CSTRs or the claim to “very large tall Continuously Stirred Tank Reactors” (CSTRs) as made by Stallkamp in their Press Release below, may sound a little over-the-top, but it makes a very valid point. They may well be the first of many new style tall-tanks. Certainly, as anaerobic digestion technology advances, the […]
How to Start Anaerobic Digestion of Plant Biomass – Biogas Pilot Trial Step by Step
How to start anaerobic digestion of plant biomass (waste organic materials you have available to you for free or at minimal cost) with an A.D. pilot plant experiment, sometimes called a Lab Trial. The following is the standard way research in water treatment processes has been carried out ever since the scientific method was invented […]
Climate Emergency Declaration: Biogas Can Abate 12% of GHG Emissions by 2030
Climate Emergency Declaration by governments and communities is of little or no use unless it results in an action plan, so the Biogas and Climate Change Commitment Declaration must be unique. In this a group of highly respected organisations has declared that, used to its fullest, anaerobic digestion and biogas can abate 12% of global […]
Shale Gas in the UK: Not Needed Just Move Funding to Biogas Production
Shale Gas in UK is halted! But, it’s not a problem! Why? The UK government has been subsidizing Shale Gas in the UK with massive tax breaks on investment in the idea. But now, due to unexpected earthquake activity directly initiated deep underground wherever there have been fracking experiments; all exploration has been stopped indefinitely. […]
Climate Change Emergency UK – ADBA’s General Election Manifesto for Net Zero Emissions
Solving the Climate Change Emergency UK will require urgent action after the new parliament returns. ADBA (the UK’s Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association) has the technology to act quickly on this, so here are ADBA’s General Election Manifesto measures which could help the UK achieve Net Zero Emissions. Whether you agree that the UK is […]
Anaerobic Digestion Regulations – UK Environmental Protection, Animal By-products, Duty of Care, Health and Safety
Anaerobic Digestion Regulations surprisingly, don’t exist in the UK. At least not all neatly bundled into a single government act or rule book. Instead, AD Plant operators must comply with a range of statutory requirements (“Laws” to you and me). The four which must be tackled once Planning Permission has been obtained are as follows: […]
