Anaerobic Digestion in Ireland: Can Cut 68% of all Irish Agri GHGs
Ireland faces a big challenge with greenhouse gas emissions and the way to reduce them will depend heavily on Anaerobic digestion. In Ireland making biogas will be more important than in many other countries and if it fails to meet EU targets the nation will face massive fines. Agriculture, waste management, and energy production are […]
MBT Waste – The Mechanical Biological Treatment of Residual Waste
Discover the MBT Waste Process for Residual Municipal Waste Treatment Dealing with waste is a common problem for many communities and agree that the old way of chucking it into a big hole (landfill) isn’t a solution. So, you might be wondering how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills. This […]
The Remarkable Rise of Biomethane Trucks: Biogas From Waste to Wheels!
The Evolution of Biogas as a Transport Fuel: Biomethane Trucks From Early Promise to Mainstream Adoption (2006-2025) The heavy goods transportation sector stands at a crucial turning point in 2025, with major truck manufacturers finally embracing biomethane-powered vehicles in their standard product ranges. This development marks a significant milestone in the industry’s journey toward sustainable […]
U.S. Rules for Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit: A Global Perspective
Final Rules for the Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit Announced by the U.S. Treasury: An International View. These new rules are expected to benefit the AD industry globally because they promise to boost biogas hydrogen production raising the demand for it, and the increasing financial reward for those that generate it. The U.S. Department of […]
Tips for Efficient Manure Management and Avoiding Fugitive Methane Emissions
Strategies for Effective Manure Management while Mitigating Fugitive Methane Emissions Did you know that livestock emissions cause about 32% of methane emissions from humans? Methane is 80 times more harmful than carbon dioxide for warming over 20 years. As a farmer, you’re key in fighting climate change. By managing manure well and using organic fertilisers, […]
Biodiesel Drawbacks: Pros And Cons Unpacked In Detail
Biodiesel is gaining attention as a cleaner, greener alternative to diesel fuel. Many see it as a way to cut down on carbon dioxide emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. 1 But are its benefits enough to outweigh the downsides? Understanding biodiesel drawbacks is key before making the switch. For instance, biodiesel may help […]
Rethinking Ammonia in Anaerobic Digestion: Utilising Paths to Energy or Protein
As the world rapidly expands its anaerobic digestion and biogas infrastructure in the most part driven to meet renewable energy needs, it’s time we turned our attention to an often-overlooked component: ammonia. While traditionally viewed as a waste product to be eliminated, and of course having a very useful role in digestate fertiliser production, let’s […]
UK Government Champions Biomethane Energy Transition to Transform Clean Power Future
The biomethane energy transition received unprecedented government backing last week (in December 2024) as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Miatta Fahnbulleh MP unveiled ambitious plans for green gas development at a landmark industry conference. Speaking at the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) event in London, the Minister detailed how UK renewable gas investment […]
Using Algae and Nanoparticles to Clean Biogas: A Green Revolution in Energy?
Is it possible to utilising algae and nanoparticles for a natural form of biogas purification to move anaerobic digestion technology in another step forward in the eco-friendly energy revolution. In a fascinating development in renewable energy, scientists have found a way to use algae and microscopic particles to transform raw biogas into high-quality biomethane. This […]
How Upgrading Biogas to Biomethane Works
How upgrading biogas to biomethane works, in other words, making the transition from biogas, which is at first raw, to biomethane (purified, biologically produced, methane), that is essential for the most valuable sustainable use of the energy. The raw biogas that bubbles up out of the liquid in the digester tank contains unwanted impurities such […]
How Microplastics in Wastewater Disrupt Anaerobic Digestion and Threaten Sludge Treatment
In this article we report on new research that reveals how microplastics disrupt anaerobic digestion and threaten sludge treatment due to the increasing presence of these tiny plastic particles in sewage works sludge (known as biosolids). A recent study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials highlights the detrimental effects of microplastics (MPs) on sludge […]
Net Zero with Huge Net Savings: ADBA Shows Biogas Powering Lower Bills
Biogas industry trade association ADBA has used the UK government treasury’s own model to cost the investment needed to achieve Net Zero in the UK. They have found that net zero cost could be drastically reduced if they stopped ignoring the potential of maximising “green gas” from biogas. In this their latest PR they explain […]
