Feed-In Tariff Closing – UK Government Fails to Support Biogas Small-Scale Renewable Energy

A Feed-In Tariff (FIT) consultation is underway, but the fact is that the UK FIT will end in just 9 months. In truth it is inexplicable why the UK government will not be updating and extending the FIT for electricity produced from biogas production from wastes using the AD process. The problem for anaerobic digestion […]

Anaerobic Digestion and Climate Change – Making Biogas to Reduce Greenhouse Gases

Anaerobic digestion can play a major part in the fight against climate change, and the importance of the link between anaerobic digestion and climate change reduction is still not fully appreciated. So, read on and see whether you then agree that making biogas to reduce greenhouse gases, has enormous potential for climate change reduction. Anaerobic […]

Biogas Plant Construction and Working Stages

The secret to understanding the most common biogas plant construction and working stages, is explained here for he most common AD plant type. By far the most common biogas plants are those based upon one single anaerobic digestion tank, and they are often known as “Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors” (CSTRS). They are often called single […]

Biogas Electric Generator Suppliers List US

The Biogas Electric Generator Suppliers List US, below shows United States generator set suppliers which provide electric power generators to produce electricity from biogas made using the anaerobic digestion process. Each of these manufacturers and/ or distributors of engines is listed in the “AgSTAR Vendor Directory for Manure Digester Systems”, and has completed that directory as […]

Co-disposal of Food Waste and Sewage Sludge ADBA Show to Host Debate

The idea of co-digestion of food waste and sewage sludge, is new to the UK but the obvious good-sense of it is gaining traction, and the ADBA Biogas/ Bioresources Trade Show this July will host an important debate on the subject. When the UK water industry was privatised in the 1980s, nobody conceived that sewage sludge […]

Anaerobic Digestion in Ireland Can Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 68%

Anaerobic Digestion in Ireland can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 68%, say the top Irish bio-energy and composting trade bodies. This is a huge saving and surely one which any nation would want to implement? The remarkable claim is found in 3 reports produced in 2016 by sector experts NovaEnergo Company. If you watch our video […]

Waste Management Hierarchy – The Driver for Sustainable Biogas Development

All those involved need to grasp the concepts behind the Waste Management Hierarchy, because it is the essential concept which will always drive sustainable biogas development and the whole so-called circular economy. In the forefront of anyone’s mind when developing a sustainable waste management strategy for a business or a project, should be the inverted pyramid […]

Dry AD – What Happens Inside a Dry Anaerobic Digestion Plant

Dry AD: This article is about what happens inside a Dry Anaerobic Digestion Plant. we might also have called it “The Dry Anaerobic Digestion Process Explained Stage by Stage”. In brief, if you want to know what is Dry AD, read-on! Dry anaerobic digestion has been seen by some to be a bit of a […]

Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste

Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion – The Main Benefits

Food waste anaerobic digestion is often said to be an established “good thing”. This is supported by government policy, but almost no-one seemed to be explaining why! That’s why we made our short video titled: “5 Top Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste”, and we have gone further into more detail in this article. […]

Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion

The Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion are wide and the creation of renewable energy as biogas (largely methane), is just one of them. We provide a detailed lists, of the benefits of anaerobic digestion, below. We think that this is the most comprehensive document available on this subject. Before focusing on the detail, we begin by […]
