What did the biogas industry say when the UK announced its net-zero commitment in 2019? This historical article preserves ADBA’s contemporary response, with updated commentary explaining why the record remains relevant.
UK Biogas Funding: How RO, FITs, RHI and GGSS Shaped Anaerobic Digestion
UK biogas funding has played a major part in shaping the anaerobic digestion industry we see today. Over the past two decades, government support has encouraged renewable electricity from biogas, rewarded useful renewable heat and, more recently, shifted strongly towards producing biomethane for injection into the gas grid. That history matters because government incentives did […]
How Digestate and CO2 Capture Make Unsubsidised Biomethane Plants Viable: Circular Economics
Explore how circular economics transform biomethane plants into viable ventures without subsidies. By leveraging biomethane, digestate biofertiliser, and biogenic CO2, these plants unlock new revenue streams. Discover how the UK’s Moor Bioenergy sets the standard for unsubsidised green gas, proving sustainability’s profitability potential…
How Biogas Development Fits into the Waste Management Hierarchy
Biogas development transforms organic waste into renewable energy, fitting into the waste management hierarchy by reducing landfill use and cutting emissions. With only 20% of U.S. biogas potential tapped, these systems offer eco-friendly solutions that produce energy and nutrient-rich digestate, fostering sustainability…
