What Happened to UK Feed-in Tariffs for Small Scale Electricity Generation & Small Biogas Plants?
The Feed-In Tariffs (FiTs) – An Introduction April 2010 saw the introduction of a system of feed in tariffs (FITs) in England, Scotland, and Wales to encourage the small-scale development of low carbon electricity generation facilities by providing revenue. A “clean energy cashback” is what the UK Government described it as in 2010, and it […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste is Number One!
The anaerobic digestion of food waste is an important application for AD technology. It is the number one preferred method for treating and disposing of food waste according to the Waste Hierarchy, above composting, and certainly a long way better than sending it to landfills. Many EU nations are placing legal requirements on local authorities to […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Northern Ireland
Anaerobic Digestion holds great potential in Northern Ireland. Until recently, the low uptake of anaerobic digestion in Northern Ireland left a large untapped biomass resource in the province. However, in the period up to 2017, with new AD plants commissioned, there has been a catching up, on the capacity of the province to use the […]

In this article we provide a summary of Biogas Additives which are offered to AD Plant operators. This is all about improving Digester Biology in Anaerobic Digestion Plants for higher biogas yield and greater digester resilience against loss of biogas production when the anaerobic digestion process becomes stressed. Some industry experts have in the past been highly […]
Anaerobic Digestion Feedstock Optimization: Balancing Nutrients and Energy for Sustainable Biogas Generation
An In-Depth Exploration of Anaerobic Digestion Feedstocks in the Quest to Maximize Methane with Innovative Mixes In the realm of anaerobic digestion, the choice of feedstock plays a pivotal role in determining the efficiency and output of the digestion process. This segment delves into the various conventional and emerging feedstocks, examining their energy value, digestion […]
RTFO Biomethane Prices: A Guide to RTFCs & the UK Biogas Price per Kwh
As the UK intensifies its efforts to decarbonise road transport, the significance of the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) and its associated RTFO Certificate (RTFC) procedure cannot be understated. The biomethane industry, specifically, has found itself at the epicentre of this transformative wave, with RTFCs serving as a pivotal driver. A driver which along with […]
Biogenic CO2 from Anaerobic Digestion – Storage, Use and Carbon Credits
Are you curious about how waste can be converted into a viable resource and help combat climate change? It’s all thanks to Biogenic CO2 from Anaerobic Digestion – a process that produces valuable gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. This blog will shed light on how this biogenic CO2 can be stored, used, and even have significant implications in earning […]
The Sludge Digestion Process Explained
Welcome to our in-depth explanation of the municipal wastewater sludge digestion process which is used at Activated Sludge Aeration WwTWs which now means the vast majority of global WwTWs. In modern times, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have become increasingly sophisticated in their approach to waste management. One of the most important processes within any WWTP […]
4 Remarkable Anaerobic Low Strength Wastewater Treatment Process Advantages
The term Anaerobic Low Strength Wastewater Treatment is truly a mouthful when spoken! However, to rapidly explain the NVP Energy Process, even that long string of words fails to mention its most fundamental feature, which isn’t even in our list of 4! The feature which NVP Energy System possesses has been a huge handicap for the […]
