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 […]

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 […]
Finding the Right Feedstock for Anaerobic Digestion Plants
The Challenge of Securing Adequate Feedstock for AD Plants to Secure Initial Capital Funding and During Operation Anaerobic digestion (AD) plants plays a crucial role in the renewable energy landscape, producing biogas through the digestion of organic waste feedstock. However, one of the major challenges in developing and sustaining AD facilities is finding the right […]
World Will Fail Climate Targets Unless Organic-Waste Methane is Cut Now – WBA Report Update
The world will fail to meet the promised Paris 2015 Accord climate targets unless action is taken now to reduce organic-waste methane emissions. Globally, all governments must act now to start cutting highly damaging methane emissions from the breakdown of organic waste, or they will be by default simply abandoning their pledges—this is our interpretation of […]
Biogas and Biomethane Production in the UK
In this article, we look ahead to likely developments in UK biogas and biomethane in 2024 to give you our thoughts on the trends likely to develop this year for better, and in some cases, for worse for the anaerobic digestion (AD) industry sector in the United Kingdom. As energy costs remain high and record profits […]
