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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
