Resource Size of the Potentially Available Anaerobic Digestion Biomass Underestimated: Verge Clippings
Anaerobic Digestion Biomass is a largely unused resource, and as this article shows, by using the example of unused verge clippings, the energy potential is far larger than is appreciated. Read on to find out how waste biomass, if fully developed in the UK and globally, can become a huge source of energy, fertilizer, and fibrous […]
Anaerobic Digestion Process Nutrients
Anaerobic Digestion Process Nutrients: Ensuring the Right Conditions for Successful Anaerobic Digestion The balance of nutrients is crucial to all biological processes. If any nutrient is absent or in low supply, it may become process rate-limiting. In some cases, the lack of particular nutrients may reduce the stability of biological processes, or result in organisms […]
What Happened to UK Feed-in Tariffs for Small Scale Electricity Generation & Small Biogas Plants?
The Feed-In Tariffs (FiTs) – An Introduction April 2010 saw the introduction of a system of feed in tariffs (FITs) in England, Scotland, and Wales to encourage the small-scale development of low carbon electricity generation facilities by providing revenue. A “clean energy cashback” is what the UK Government described it as in 2010, and it […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste is Number One!
The anaerobic digestion of food waste is an important application for AD technology. It is the number one preferred method for treating and disposing of food waste according to the Waste Hierarchy, above composting, and certainly a long way better than sending it to landfills. Many EU nations are placing legal requirements on local authorities to […]

Some industry experts have in the past been highly […]
Anaerobic Digestion Feedstock Optimization: Balancing Nutrients and Energy for Sustainable Biogas Generation
An In-Depth Exploration of Anaerobic Digestion Feedstocks in the Quest to Maximize Methane with Innovative Mixes In the realm of anaerobic digestion, the choice of feedstock plays a pivotal role in determining the efficiency and output of the digestion process. This segment delves into the various conventional and emerging feedstocks, examining their energy value, digestion […]
Business Operations as Marketing – Overcoming Sustainability Credibility Gap Concerns
In this article, we discuss the use of business operations as marketing. In the biogas industry, our business operations are green by nature, and yet many companies are still shy about using that fact to full effect in their marketing. This article is about AD plant owners getting past any perceived credibility gap worries to […]
5 Anaerobic Digestion Problems to Avoid at Commercial Biogas Facilities
We list 5 anaerobic digestion problems which are common to the biogas process, and are easily and rapidly corrected for and avoided, at AD facilities run by expert biogas plant operators. BUT, the same problems can be disastrous/ cause long digester-downtime in the hands of novice Anaerobic Digestion Plant operators. The 5 Anaerobic Digestion Problems, are: […]
