How Biogas Can Be A Replacement for Fossil Fuels in Sub-Saharan Africa
Biogas can have a central role in the replacement of fossil fuels in Sub-Saharan Africa and in providing affordable and clean energy as identified in the 2030 UN SDG 7. Uniquely, biogas has a role in: Environmental Security: being a cleaner fuel by far than the burning of fossil fuel so air pollution is reduced […]

What is Biogas? A Beginners Guide – Home to Commercial Digester Systems
We answer the question: “What is Biogas?” Biogas is generated during anaerobic digestion (AD) when microorganisms break down (by eating it) organic materials in the absence of air (or oxygen). Biogas is mostly methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), with very small amounts of water vapor and other gases. The carbon dioxide and other gases […]
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 […]
Biomethane Production: Sweden Leads with Schmack Carbotech Plant – Plus One in France
This is our updated article about: Schmack Carbotech – “Sweden’s leading role in bioenergy through biomethane production, with the world’s largest installed biogas upgrading capacity, is set to further pull-ahead”. The first article, which is still reproduced below, was published in August 2014. A lot has changed since then, and biomethane production has risen greatly. Schmack has […]
What is Renewable Energy and How Does It Work
There is a simple answer to; “What is renewable energy?” It is energy which is self replenishing. Many people would say that it is also sustainable energy, which implies that in accordance with many definitions of sustainability it should be self replenishing within a generation, so that the present generation does not rob energy resources […]
RHI UK – Anaerobic Digestion Renewable Heat Incentive Details 2018
UK RHI documentation below, does not currently refer to biogas plants as being eligible, while the AD industry awaits the reintroduction of RHI applications for biogas plants, which is expected to come soon. The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) was introduced to help kick-start the transition to low- carbon heating in the UK, giving help to all […]
Weltec Biopower Extends Existing AD Plant in France After 2016 French Feed-in Tariff Extension
Weltec Biopower has once again announced that it is extending one of their previously constructed biogas plants, at an Anaerobic Digestion Plant in France (Iffendic). This follows our previous article when, in September 2014, we wrote here in this blog, that biogas plant designer and construction contractor Weltec Biopower, had been awarded the 1.1 MW Piddlehinton […]
High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant Treats Wastewater Effluent Streams
A High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant can treat high strength Wastewater Effluent Streams including sewage sludge, very efficiently. This is an important finding due to the fact that biodegradable wastewaters contribute about 6% of all anthropogenic methane emissions. High-rate anaerobic digesters have the potential to treat such wastewaters while also creating renewable energy. This energy […]
