Biogas Process
How to Make Biogas: From Organic Waste to Renewable Gas
Biogas is made when microorganisms break down biodegradable organic material in the absence of oxygen. The controlled process is called anaerobic digestion, and it can convert food waste, animal manure, sewage sludge, crop residues and many other organic materials into a useful renewable gas. The principle sounds simple: place biodegradable material in an airtight digester […]
Biogas Additives for Anaerobic Digestion: When They Work and Why
Biogas additives can improve anaerobic digester performance, but only when the additive addresses a genuine limitation in the process. Trace elements, enzymes, iron compounds, buffering agents, antifoams and other products all have legitimate applications, but there is no universal additive that will automatically increase methane yield in every digester. No reputable additive supplier will ever […]
Biogas Digester: How It Works, Types and Uses
A biogas digester is a sealed reactor in which microorganisms break down organic material without oxygen. This process, called anaerobic digestion, produces biogas and a remaining material called digestate. “Methane digester” is another name people use for a biogas-producing anaerobic digester: methane is the energy-rich component of the gas, rather than a different digestion process. […]
Biogas Production Process Steps: From Feedstock to Usable Biogas
The biogas production process converts biodegradable organic material into a methane-rich gas that can be used as a renewable source of energy. But there is an important distinction that is often missed when the process is explained. The four stages commonly described as the “4 stages of biogas production” — hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis […]
Small-Scale Anaerobic Digestion for Farms, Businesses and Communities
Small-scale anaerobic digestion can provide a practical way for farms, food businesses, institutions and communities to treat organic residues while producing biogas and digestate. But reducing the size of an anaerobic digestion plant does not automatically make the technology simple or inexpensive. A small digester still needs a reliable feedstock, biological process control, pumps and […]
Uses and Applications of Biogas: 10 Ways Biogas Is Used
What are the main uses of biogas? The answer ranges from generating electricity and heat to replacing natural gas in pipelines, fuelling vehicles and providing cooking fuel at household scale. Biogas is unusually versatile because its principal energy-carrying component is methane. Raw biogas can be burned directly in suitable equipment after the gas treatment required […]
Anaerobic Digestion Plants UK — A Guide to Notable Biogas Plants
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the UK’s fastest-growing renewable energy sectors. As of early 2026, the UK operates 756 active AD plants, collectively processing around 36 million tonnes of organic waste annually — producing enough biomethane to supply electricity to millions of homes and delivering nutrient-rich digestate as a sustainable biofertiliser for farmland. Plants fall into two […]
Palm Oil Anaerobic Digestion in Thailand Mixed by Landia’s GasMix
Palm Oil Anaerobic Digestion is rapidly becoming one of the most important technologies for transforming the environmental impact of the palm oil industry. As global demand for palm oil continues to rise, producers are under increasing pressure to manage waste streams responsibly while improving energy efficiency and sustainability. One of the most effective ways to […]
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…
Biogas From Poultry Waste Enhanced Through Co-Digestion With Swine Wastewater
Many poultry farms and waste management professionals face growing challenges with disposing of chicken manure. High nitrogen levels in poultry litter can slow down anaerobic digestion. This often lowers biogas production and causes odour or ammonia problems. Research shows that mixing swine wastewater with chicken litter improves the process. The balanced mix creates better conditions […]
What Happens Inside a Dry Digester – Solid State Anaerobic Digestion Plant
What’s a Dry Digester? This article is about what happens inside a Dry Anaerobic Digestion Plant, also known as a Solid State AD Plant (SSAD). We might also have called this page: “The Dry Anaerobic Digestion Process Explained Stage by Stage”. In brief, if you want to know what a Dry Digester does, read on! Definition […]
US Biogas Capture In 2025: New Investments & Record Growth Prediction
It’s no secret that managing organic waste is a massive headache. Landfills are overflowing, wastewater treatment plants are under pressure, and dairy farms struggle with methane emissions from manure, but Biogas Capture can truly help. 1 Without biogas capture this isn’t just bad for business; it’s a climate concern too. Methane, the pesky gas released […]
