Biogas Information – (Biogas-Info) – The “Official” UK Anaerobic Digestion Information Portal
The Biogas Info website was created in 2009 as an independent authoritative resource on all things AD. The creation of the site was supported byte UK Government and industry. The site was developed and is maintained by NNFCC. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the breakdown of organic material by micro-organisms in the absence of oxygen. AD […]
The Importance of Biogas to Big Cities and Rural Villages
Biogas is an important technology being, as it is, produced by the natural anaerobic digestion process. So, we decided to write about the importance of biogas to life in a Big City and also the importance of biogas to Rural Villages (Scroll down). But before you do that read on for a more general discussion: […]
Are Anaerobic Digesters Truly Green and How Do They Work?
Anaerobic digesters are a popular alternative energy technology and their use is growing, but are they as green as their promoters would suggest? In order to discuss this, we also include information on how they work as the claims of climate reduction are really quite remarkable and need detailed explanation in order for our readers […]
List of Anaerobic Digestion Training Course Providers
The demand for Anaerobic Digestion Training is growing as the number of commercial anaerobic digestion plants increases. In this article, we provide a list of some of the courses in biogas plants and their operation currently being offered. We are sure there must be many more. If when you read this, you know of more, […]
Biomethane in Australia Starts on Demand for RNG & Low Carbon Transport Fuel
Biomethane in Australia is getting started. The construction of Australia’s first biomethane plant has begun as public and industrial demand for renewable natural gas and low-carbon transportation fuels rises. The country also has a new government that is willing to go above and beyond in many aspects of climate change mitigation. The result is that […]
How to Use Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion Plants in Agriculture
It’s not plain sailing to use digestate in agriculture, so we thought that we would explain how one farm uses their digestate in their agricultural business in the UK. Using Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion Plants in Agriculture Anaerobic digestion is a controlled biological process using biodegradable materials such as food waste and animal manures, to […]
AD Certification Scheme Accreditation Awarded to Vale Green Energy
Vale Green Energy joins the list of sites which have achieved AD Certification Scheme Accreditation. It has shown its intent to apply the high standard of AD plant operation that the AD industry considers good practice within their industry. ADBA members devised the scheme with a mission to raise the whole industry to those of […]
Misplaced Food v Fuel Fears – Germany May Unnecessarily Restrict Crop-based Biofuels
In response to food vs. fuel concerns, Germany intends to limit crop-based biofuels. The following article was first published by Fastmarkets in their Energy Census [RE]fuel Report: The main takeaway from this is that politicians and the general public alike both assume that most biogas is made from crops which would otherwise become food. This […]
SCR Power Plant Solutions: Combined Heat and Power Plants with SCR
It has been more than 4 years since we wrote about the first combined heat and power plants with SCR Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems that were being delivered by ETW Energietechnik of Germany at that time. We have archived our original (March 2018) article below, for our readers because it remains relevant today. In this […]

Silage Clamp Design and Installation for Biogas Plants
Silage clamp design and installation to comply with the UK silage clamp regulations (SSAFO Regs (UK)) is an essential component of modern anaerobic digestion plants. What Is A Silage Clamp? Silage clamps are concrete panel structures that serve as the wall and base for silage pits, which are used to store covered grass, maize, or […]
3 Anaerobic Sludge Digestion Case Studies
These three anaerobic sludge digestion case studies explain how water utility companies are embracing the anaerobic digestion process as their method of choice for the treatment of the vast quantities of solid sludge materials which they aerate and settle out of the sewage entering their sewage works every day. While doing that they produce a […]
What is Biogas? An Introduction to a Sustainable Energy Source
In another article in our series on “What is Biogas?”, we provide an introduction to this gas as a sustainable energy source. What is biogas? A Definition Biogas is the methane-rich bacterial waste product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas is a renewable energy source that is produced […]
Decarbonising Transport is Biggest of all Advantages of Biogas
The advantages of biogas are many and elsewhere on this blog we list them, but until now the biggest advantage of biogas (in Decarbonising Transport especially when “upgraded” to biomethane) has been waiting to be discovered. Globally there is no large and successful city that is not suffering air pollution from the ever-rising numbers of […]
How to Improve Sewage Sludge Treatment – A Water Industry AD Plant Performance Review
Anaerobic digestion has been shown to be the best technology for treating wastewater from sewage systems globally and is increasingly being used in sewage treatment. The properties of sludge can be modified during anaerobic digestion and produce biogas as a result of the treatment, as well as several positive effects on sludge management. Anaerobic digestion […]
