Gobar Gas the Benefits of Gas from Dung
Gobar gas is also known as “Bio gas” or simply “biogas”. Its main component is animal dung (gobar – India) along with some other organic matter like dead remains of plants and animals. It can be used to cooking, electricity generating and heating purposes. It is proving to be a very cost-effective and environment-friendly alternative fuel […]
Advanced Conversion Technologies to Extract Energy from Waste – AD Rivals?
Advanced Conversion Technologies is the term for technologies such as gasification and pyrolysis. These could become competitors with Anaerobic Digestion. In fact, a number of innovative advanced, high temperature processes for Energy from Waste/ Waste to Energy, are beginning to emerge from the far east. These may become more efficient (after further development), than conventional […]
Basic Anaerobic Digestion – How Does Anaerobic Digestion Work?
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is in-truth an unhelpful name for the basic age-old natural process that produces renewable energy as heat and biogas, and natural crop fertilizer. That is basic anaerobic digestion, and how the AD (or fermentation) process works. The following video is a very popular video which explains how AD works: A common challenge […]
Biogas Production Process Dairy Farmers Selling Herds to Biodigest Grass
Biogas production from grass is a proven viable process. Today (2019) many UK dairy farmers have not only considered selling their herds, they’ve done just that. Instead of cattle for milk, they are simply growing grass for direct feed into an anaerobic digestion plant, and storing silage for winter use. This makes good sense in […]
Biogas GCSE – BBC Bitsize Teaching and Course Content Queries?
Anaerobic Decay, Methane Gas and Biogas Generators are all topics students learn in the UK Biogas GCSE student curriculum. Here they are discussed from the point of view of a UK biogas expert. Parents: Did you know that biogas GSCE content is being taught in UK schools? Yes, it is. It is good news that […]
Pipeline Quality Gas and the Benefits of Biomethane Gas to Grid
The acceptance of biogas upgrading technology which purifies raw biogas to Pipeline Quality Gas (natural gas pipeline quality) and enables AD plant operators to inject biomethane gas to grid is rising. Benefits of Upgrading to Pipeline Quality Gas Once biomethane gas to grid is accomplished, the biogas plant operator gains not only from a higher […]
WRAP Defends Anaerobic Digestion from “Slopbuckets Farce” Food Waste Collection Slur
WRAP Defended Anaerobic Digestion of food waste as a newspaper branded its collection from householders as a “slopbuckets farce“, earlier that month! (May 2012). UK funded government organisation WRAP has defended household food waste collections. These are destined for Anaerobic Digestion facilities, while the Daily Mail belittles government efforts. It believes to collect food waste […]
Anaerobic Digestion in the US Shows Growth Despite Low Electricity Prices
Anaerobic Digestion in the US is expanding despite no subsidies, in most cases. Many opinion-formers suggest that Anaerobic Digestion technology needs strong subsidies to have a chance of being developed to meet its potential. However, US AD site “Biocycle”, has posted an article which suggests the contrary. It says that’s not the case in the […]
Biogas Power to Make Green Electricity for Norfolk Military Base UK AD Plant
Biogas power will generate Green Electricity for a Norfolk Military Base it has been announced. The UK Anaerobic Digestion Plant will the a first to be used in this way. It will see almost all of the bases electricity requirement supplied from a new on-farm green renewable energy resource now operating. Press Release Starts: Defence […]
Bioeconomy – What Does It Mean?
The Bioeconomy? What does it mean. That’s a good question. Stay with us a moment and we’ll explain with our definition. Plus, we tell you why it’s good for our planet, and can reduce climate change. Our planet is getting more and more crowded. As a result we need to use our resources more sustainably. […]
