What is Biomethane and Anaerobic Digestion Gas to Grid Definition
It is a good question to ask; “What is biomethane and anaerobic digestion gas to grid”, but for the first part (biomethane) don’t expect always to get the same answer! Many people use the term biomethane interchangeably as if it means the same as biogas. In fact, when the term “biomethane” is used correctly the […]
Combined Heat and Power Systems (CHP) – 3 Important Considerations for Design
Combined heat and power systems (CHP), are also known as co-generation systems, and they greatly improve the usable energy output from electricity generation systems. When a gas engine or turbine is used to generate electricity without CHP, after the electricity leaving the site, there is also hot “cooling water” that is used to keep the […]
The Biogas Engine Defined and How it Generates Electricity
We have defined what we mean by a biogas engine and how such engines are used as a biogas generator, including discussing what cogeneration means in terms of secondary heat ultilisation and CHP
Anaerobic Digestate Disposal, or Use as a Natural Fertilizer?
The question as to whether to go for Digestate Disposal, or use it as a Natural Fertilizer is important, and not a simple one to determine. Digestate from any wet anaerobic digestion process comprises both a liquid and a fibrous solid material. As we plan Anaerobic Digestion Plants the question arises for each site as […]
UK Biogas Funding for Biofuels CHP RO FiTs and RHI – Looking Back 10 Years
To understand the historical background to policy on UK Biogas Funding for Biofuels and CHP (Combined Heat and Power Installations), RO (the now-defunct Renewables Obligation), FiTs (Feed-in-Tariff closed) and the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive – still current but for how long?*) it is necessary to go back 10 years to 2011 and the “Anaerobic Digestion […]
Anaerobic Digestion Feasibility Study List of 10 Examples
Have you ever considered doing an Anaerobic Digestion Feasibility Study? If you are wondering about whether or not to build your own biogas plant, sooner or later most people consider embarking on an Anaerobic Digestion Feasibility Study. You can do these yourself, but generally, it is better to bring in a biogas expert to work […]
Food Waste Recycling in Scotland at Deerdykes – 10th Anniversary Passes for 1st Ever Large-scale Biogas Facility
It is now over a decade since the opening of the first facility for Food Waste Recycling in Scotland at Deerdykes Bioresources Centre near Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire. The 10th anniversary passed in September 2020 for the first-ever large-scale biogas facility in the nation. As a consultant and design engineer, the author of this website […]
UK Tax Relief for Renewable Energy Companies – “Claim UK Tax Back” Partnership Announced
All businesses should get UK Tax Relief and claim tax back for what they spend on Research and Development and benefit fully from UK tax relief for the R&D work they undertake. That’s official! Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, has made it clear that to encourage innovation in British businesses, he wants to see a […]
Biogas Safety First and the Safety of AD Plants
Renewable energy sources are much needed, but the presence of explosive gases and potentially also pathogens means that observing biogas “Safety First” and ensuring the “Safety of Biogas/ AD/ Anaerobic Digestion Plants” must rank above simply producing valuable energy. Watch the video below which we made to give you a quick summary of the main […]
The Must Have Biogas Tractor For All Seriously Sustainable Farms
Biogas Tractors and the most efficient use of biogas, on the farm to provide the fuel to power the farm vehicles was simply not previously available.
Biogas Analysis and Gas Quality Monitoring of Anaerobic Digestion Processes
Biogas analysis and maximizing the efficiency of anaerobic digestion plants is gaining more attention as the anaerobic digestion industry matures. If you are seeking to find out more about this topic, read-on, because this article is for you! With the rapidly increasing global awareness that the world must decarbonize or suffer huge problems and costs […]
What is Biomethane? How It’s Made and Why It’s Renewable
So, What is Biomethane? Biomethane is a renewable, flexible and easily storable, low air pollution and low carbon emission fuel, that can be used wherever natural gas is used, without the need to change any settings on, or carry out any modification to, equipment designed to use natural gas. Watch our video below, it’s short […]
