Sewage Sludge Digestion – Ofwat UK Rule Changes Allow Outsourced Treatment
Five years ago, in this article, we announced that sewage sludge digestion would be put out to tender as an outsourced service by many, or all UK water companies. The opinion we gave was that there would be big opportunities from Ofwat for companies to take sewage sludge and co-digest it. We looked forward to […]
How to Reduce Methane Emissions – To be Quest for New Era of Waste Management
The extent to which we learn how to reduce methane emissions will make or break mankind’s success or failure over the next 10 years of the climate fight. Reducing methane discharges will be at the forefront in the quest for a new era of Waste Management because that discipline is the one that holds the […]
Biogas Conference London 14 December – ADBA’s First Physical Event Since Covid
The Biogas Conference returns to London on 14 December. it will be ADBA’s first physical event since covid. Hoping to see you there! So, here is the latest official Press Release about it. Climate, Gas and CO2 Security will be the Key Themes of the ADBA 2021 National Conference Lord Callanan to open the first […]
Anaerobic Digestion in UK Recent Developments 2021 Update
In the UK, since 2011, there have been two main policies, pushing forward anaerobic digestion UK implementation.
Anaerobic Digestion UK policy to collect and digest food waste, and to raise renewable energy production to achieve a target output.
Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Fuel Cell Systems – Pioneering Vision of a New AD Process
Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Fuel Cell Systems – Will these, one day, become the New “Super-Biogas Process”? With many thousands of large commercial anaerobic digestion plants in use throughout the world, and literally hundreds of thousands of small household and community biogas plants providing energy to their owners globally, AD is now a thoroughly proven process. […]
Shell Produces Biogas at its 1st US Anaerobic Digestion Facility
Oil company Shell has entered the US biogas industry and is producing biomethane (where biogas is upgraded to biomethane and renewable compressed natural gas) at its first US AD facility. Now the anaerobic digestion industry has now truly gone mainstream! The Shell subsidiary company New Energies Junction City in Oregon is using locally sourced cow […]
ADBA Urges COP26 President to Support Anaerobic Digestion
In a letter to Alok Sharma, President of the United Nations Conference of Parties on Climate Change (COP26), which the UK will host in November, a group of 19 organizations, led by the UK Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), has urged the minister to become an advocate. An advocate for better waste management in […]
Is Biogas Carbon Neutral and What GHG Emissions Savings Occur When Using it?
Is biogas carbon neutral? Is easy to answer, and the short answer is “Yes”! The really interesting question though is what is the overall carbon footprint? Done well biogas production actually reverses the process leading to climate change. While biogas combustion, like natural gas combustion, creates carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, the carbon in […]
Anaerobic Digestion Produces Renewable Energy Now & UK Needs to Use It!
Put simply, anaerobic digestion produces renewable energy now and the UK badly needs to use it or else fail to meet their promised UK Net Zero target. That means get on now and waste no more time at implementing government policies to develop more biogas plants. In the Press Release that follows the UK trade […]
Dry Anaerobic Digestion Secrets You Will Wish You Discovered First
Dry anaerobic digestion can be seen as a well-kept secret. It is seldom mentioned in most AD industry circles. Yet it is already an established technique for reducing the organic activity of MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) to make it less of a problem when landfilled. And, it is now poised to push into traditional CSTR […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Ukraine: The New Saudi of Sustainable Biogas Production?
The accelerating adoption of anaerobic digestion in Ukraine has led to speculation that the country may before long become the new “World’s Biggest Producer” of sustainable biogas and biomethane. Ukraine might export up to eight billion cubic metres of biomethane to Europe each year, thanks to a new law that recognises the country’s enormous potential. […]
How to Increase Biogas Production – By Adding Ultrasound Destructors
Attend almost any webinar or conference about anaerobic digestion and the topic of how to increase biogas production will soon be raised. What you will also find is that very often the method offered to raise biogas output efficiency is a new one. The pace of development of the relatively young biogas industry is remarkably […]
