Biomethane Vs Natural Gas: A Comprehensive Comparative Analysis
This page is where you will find our comprehensive comparative analysis of biomethane versus natural gas, which demonstrates a huge prospect for rapid growth in biomethane output. Choosing the right energy source is a big problem for many people today. We all want something that is clean, affordable and does not harm our planet. Biomethane and […]
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 […]
Green Biogas – UK Green Investment Bank Backing Is Proof
We have said many times that the anaerobic digestion process makes green biogas profitable with a good ROI, but where is the proof of that? Back in December 2012 when we first posted this article, we based our case on a “Utility Week” article here which announced that Anaerobic digestion and energy efficiency had won the […]
UK Anaerobic Digestion Plants Exceed 100 And Hit Trouble: Looking Back
In this article, we will look back at our March 2013 article when UK Anaerobic Digestion Plants exceeded 100 and were receiving damaging media attention due to novice operators causing some high-profile environmental problems. So, we reported that they were “hitting trouble”. The fact is that now (in 2023), with the benefit of hindsight, we […]
Pipeline Quality Gas and 3 Biomethane Gas to Grid Benefits
Pipeline Quality Gas (i. e. natural gas pipeline quality gas made from biogas) and the acceptance of biogas upgrading technology which purifies raw biogas to pipeline quality is the greatest success story of the anaerobic digestion industry of the last 10 years. Acceptance of their “pipeline quality gas” (i.e biomethane) by the natural gas network […]
High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant Treats Wastewater Effluent Streams
By definition, a High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant can effectively handle high-strength wastewater effluent streams, such as sewage sludge. To be high rate it needs to be able to provide the necessary reactions at a higher rate than traditional biogas process plant which need a 30 day retention period or longer. Back in 2017, we […]
Bio Thermic Digester (BTD) Gains Acceptance And May Become Major Competitor To Anaerobic Digestion
Bio Thermic Digester (BTD) is the term for an innovative type of industrial-scale biological high temperature-digester which uses Aerobic Extremophilic Bacteria to achieve a remarkably high level of mass reduction and has been launched by waste treatment specialist Advetec. The technology is understood to be capable of rapidly processing significantly high volumes of organic municipal waste, […]
Anaerobic Digester Cost – Manure Management Projects On-Farm
How much does an Anaerobic Digester cost to construct, commission and run? That’s the vital question for AD utilisation on manure management projects on farms. If the sum of these costs is known and the price payable for the outputs in energy and biofertiliser available to any farm business they will be able to work […]
