Methane vs CO2 As Greenhouse Gases: Why 30x or 80x The Climate Impact?
Methane vs CO2: Greenhouse gases like methane and CO2 trap heat in our atmosphere. Everyone now recognises that methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, even more potent than CO2. So why do some say methane creates 30 times more warming than others who say 80 times? So, which is right? The answer is simply that […]

10 Facts About Anaerobic Digestion: Unlocking the Power of Waste
Read on for our list of 10 true facts about anaerobic digestion and transforming trash into treasure. We “air” a topic about a process that surprisingly doesn’t need air (oxygen); in fact, the truly anaerobic microorganisms that do the work die if exposed to air! and would be just as happy on the moon. Imagine […]
Understanding the Concept of Carbon Neutral Fuel: What Does It Really Mean?
Carbon neutral fuel: Maybe it sounds good, but what does it really mean? This is an important question because we will all be becoming much more familiar with the idea over the next few years, and if all goes well, there will be a lot of it around. Carbon-neutral fuel is a type of energy […]
Is Biogas Renewable? Unveiling The Truth Behind Its Sustainability
Many people ask, “Is biogas renewable?” It is mostly methane (a severe greenhouse gas), and when it is burned, it creates carbon dioxide (the gas we are told is the main culprit behind climate change!). So, isn’t the truth behind its sustainability that the whole idea of renewable biogas is pure greenwash? Read on to […]
Anaerobic Digestate Fertilizer for Plant Nutrition in Agriculture
Anaerobic digestate fertilizer can be an important source of the essential elements of plant nutrition in agriculture. To put it simply: The sustainable renewable fertilizer made from the leftovers of the “decomposition process that doesn’t use oxygen” can be a key source of the vital nutrients plants need to grow in farming. For the agricultural […]
Green Gas Support Scheme Application Window Extended to March 2028 – January 2024 Update:
Update: The Green Gas Support Scheme application window has been extended to 31 March 2028, in an announcement made this week (January 2024). In a strategic move to bolster the UK’s commitment to environmental sustainability and green energy, the Department for Energy Strategy and Net Zero (DESNZ) has officially extended the application deadline for the […]
What is Methane Stripping of Landfill Leachate?
Methane Stripping of Landfill Leachate refers to the removal of dissolved methane from landfill leachate before it is directly pumped into a public sewer. If the methane dissolved in leachate was allowed to enter the sewers, it may be present in sufficient concentrations to cause an explosion and/or asphyxiation risk within the sewer into which […]
Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion: A Comprehensive Guide
Dive into the world of food waste anaerobic digestion and learn how it tackles this pressing waste problem while powering our world in a greener way. Read more about the anaerobic digestion of food waste here now! Food waste isn’t just messy; it’s a growing environmental headache and a squander of resources that hits us all in […]
UK Dry Anaerobic Digestion May Soon Come to England – GMCA to Support New AD System
Introduction to a Groundbreaking Initiative! The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) Waste and Recycling Committee has recently taken a bold step towards adopting an alternative anaerobic digestion process technology that could extend the biowaste management sector in England to many dry organic wastes not hitherto considered useful for energy production. With approval to commission the […]
Slurry Separation Equipment Range Extended By Börger in the Wake of New Defra Guidance
Börger has announced an important addition to its popular BioSelect slurry separation equipment range with a mobile Powerlift version that follows on from the financial shock of the new Defra slurry separator guidance issued in October 2023. Guidance that unfortunately imposes more costs on slurry management from now onward. The new mobile Slurry Separation Unit […]
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 […]
