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 […]
UK Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion Plant History of the Ludlow Digester
In the UK Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion Plant History began with the dedicated Food Waste AD Waste Technologies Demonstrator Plant, known as the Ludlow Digester. In the UK the history of dedicated food waste anaerobic digestion plants began there in 2004, when the innovative government funded plant opened. At the time, nobody was sure that […]
Biogas GCSE – BBC Bitsize Teaching and Course Content Queries?

Egg Shaped Anaerobic Digesters – Strange Looking Tanks Explained
Egg Shaped Anaerobic Digesters; Enormous eggs! Whatever next! Have you ever wondered what those huge “strangely other-world like” not quite “spherical” tanks are that you sometimes see? They are anaerobic digestion process digesters, and very useful they are too! They make sewage sludge much more wholesome and in particular they reduce sludge odour, but best […]
Renewable Natural Gas Transport – Use of Biogas for Vehicle Fuel
There are many benefits in the use of natural gas transport, even if the natural gas source is fossil fuel based. That’s because of the low-carbon emissions of this fuel and the clean burning characteristics of methane (natural gas). Currently, taxation on this form of fuel is very low, which for the moment is another […]
UK Biogas Energy Targets and a New (Vegetable Producer’s) AD Plant Case Study
I was reading the Weltec Biopower Press Release, which follows below, and I also read the background note provided by their publicist. It explains how there are now lots of projects like the Anaerobic Digestion Plant described below, being built by Weltec BioPower and others, that are crucial to the UK’s plans to achieve UK biogas energy targets. To […]
