Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits for UK Biogas Plant Operators – Are You Claiming Yours?
According to many tax experts, the UK AD industry frequently misses out on R&D tax credits that are available to UK biogas plant operators and which go unclaimed. Are you sure that your business is claiming all the R&D tax credits to which you are entitled? No two biogas plants are ever built quite the […]
EU Biomethane Boost – 8% of Gas Supply Should Be Biomethane by 2030 – 2021 Policy Paper Said
The biomethane boost from EU governments is due to be much larger than we described in our first report in January 2012, when we said: What will not be easy to obtain agreement on is the fact that, in their own words; “UE biomethane and green hydrogen, require additional incentives compared to the incentives required […]
To The Moo-n: Using Cow Dung From A Biogas Plant – The AD Process Fuels Japan’s Space Ambitions
Yes. You heard it here first! Cow dung rocket fuel, which is the feed for a biogas plant (using the process of anaerobic digestion), has been used in a successful test to fuel Japan’s space ambitions. Imagine getting the fuel for rockets not from complicated chemicals but from something as simple as cow dung. Yes, […]

The Truth Behind Electric Kitchen Composters: Understanding Food Waste Management
Take care! “Electric Kitchen Composters” are not what their name suggests them to be. In the realm of sustainable living and waste management, the distinction between traditional composting and modern food waste dehydrators is often blurred. Recent discussions by BioCycle columnists Sally Brown and Ron Alexander have highlighted the issue: many in-home food waste dehydrators […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Germany & AD Industry Growth Prospects from EEG 2021 Act
Anaerobic digestion in Germany is forecast to expand. There is good reason to be optimistic about the prospects of growth in the German anaerobic digestion industry due to the passing of the new 2021 Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) by the Bundestag, which took place just before Christmas 2020. This promises to be a major […]

Biogas Yield Up 15-25% After Mixer Retrofit at Biosciences Institute
The good news is that at a Northern Ireland digester site, the biogas yield is up 15-25%, depending on feedstock type, after Biosciences Institute (AFBI) implemented an innovative approach to digester tank mixing. In a world where sustainable energy solutions are more crucial than ever, Northern Ireland’s Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) stands at the […]
Post-Consumer Food Waste: Transform Leftovers Into Energy with AD
Food waste is a big issue all over the world. Every year, loads of food gets thrown away after people eat, and much of this leftover food is called post-consumer food waste. It’s important to know that in America alone, people toss out about 60 million tonnes of food every year, which means nearly half […]
Biomethane Potential Test Laboratory Procedures and Services
In the quest for sustainable and renewable energy sources, biomethane emerges as a beacon of hope. At the heart of understanding and harnessing this resource lies a crucial process: the Biomethane Potential (BMP) Test. This test is more than just a procedure; it’s a gateway to unlocking the energy potential hidden in organic waste materials. […]
Biomethane vs Biogas: Understanding the Differences
A Comparison Between Biomethane vs Biogas: What You Need to Know In today’s quest for sustainable solutions, the words ‘biogas’ and ‘biomethane’ often buzz around with considerable confusion. As renewable energy sources derived from organic waste rise in importance, understanding these terms becomes essential. But it is simple, the key fact to remember is: Biogas is often […]
FOS/TAC Anaerobic Digestion Process Control – Can You Justify Using Anything Less?
FOS/TAC Anaerobic Digestion process control combines all the important health indicators for a biogas plant’s optimum day-to-day operational adjustments based on the best science. FOS/TAC measurement provides operators with an optimum target ratio to achieve the most stable digester at optimum biogas yield. It costs a bit more to measure than alkalinity, but the technology […]
The Balloon Biogas Plant: A Sustainable Solution For Renewable Energy Generation
The Balloon Biogas Plant can be a long-term answer to renewable power production for small farms and rural communities. Stick around while we make the case for that hypothesis in this article! While searching for renewable energy solutions, you might have stumbled upon the concept of balloon biogas plants. These unique constructions use heat-sealed plastic or […]
Anaerobic Digestion Vs. Incineration: A Comparison Of Waste Treatment Methods
Anaerobic digestion vs incineration may seem like a strange comparison to make. But now that many people in the waste management industry do, these days, rightfully recognize anaerobic digestion as an alternative, and often much better, alternative to incineration, the comparison of the two waste treatment methods is relevant. However, navigating the pros and cons […]
