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 […]
Metal Fabrication: The Basics of Precision Machining Essential to the AD Industry
Stay with us while we look at metal fabrication as a fundamental technology, one of the basics of precision machining and also essential to the AD Industry. This is one of our occasional articles in which we look at the basic foundations of current technology. Without modern metal fabrication techniques such as metal stamping services […]
ADBA Calls for Ban on Russian Natural Gas Imports
The UK could ban Russian Natural Gas Imports and the gas demand could be directly replaced with home-grown biomethane within the next four years. Isn’t it time to stop talking about what can be done to halt Putin, and take action? Read the Press Release below and provide a comment if you support this view: […]
Ultrasonic Disintegration for Higher Biogas Output from Biowastes
Ultrasonic Disintegration of biowastes especially sewage sludge is increasingly being used for the higher biogas output it provides from a relatively small and easily fitted device which provides a pretreatment stage before the digester tank at anaerobic digestion plants. Ultrasonics are a powerful method to break up or disintegrate cells so that they are available […]
Biogas Digester Cost and Amazing Farm Fertiliser Savings
Stay on this page if you want our views on biogas digester cost and to see a case study on the dramatic fertiliser cost savings which were the result of fitting a new mixer system designed to raise the profitability of AD plants. How much does it cost to build a biogas plant? Biogas plant […]
